Heritage & Conservation
At Morson Praxis, we don’t just work with old buildings – we’re time travellers with hard hats. Our award-winning heritage team bridges centuries of craftsmanship with cutting-edge conservation science, ensuring Britain’s architectural treasures don’t just survive, but thrive for future generations.
The Art of Architectural Time Travel
Our heritage specialists don't just preserve buildings; we unlock their potential
Historic buildings are living, breathing entities with stories etched in every stone and beam. But here’s the thing – they’re also complex engineering puzzles that demand both reverence and rigour. That’s where we come in. We speak fluent “medieval mason” and “modern building regs” with equal fluency.
Whether it’s a Grade I listed manor house crying out for contemporary life or an industrial heritage site ready for its next chapter, we see possibilities where others see problems.
- Comprehensive condition assessments that read buildings like open books
- Materials analysis that would make Sherlock Holmes proud
- Architectural paint research (because every layer tells a story)
- 3D laser scanning that captures detail invisible to the naked eye
- Conservation policies that balance preservation with practicality
- Restoration strategies that honour original intent whilst meeting modern needs
- Compliance navigation through the maze of heritage regulations
- Sustainable conservation practices (because eco-friendly isn’t just trendy – it’s sensible)
- Project management that keeps complex heritage schemes on track
- Expert supervision ensuring traditional techniques meet contemporary standards
- Adaptive reuse solutions that give historic buildings fresh purpose
Our Heritage DNA
Our team reads building histories like bedtime stories.
We combine deep knowledge of historic materials and time-honoured techniques with innovative, non-invasive investigation methods. We understand that every crack, every colour change, every structural quirk is part of a building’s biography.
From Tudor timber framing to Victorian engineering marvels, we’ve got the expertise to tackle any era. Our specialists navigate heritage legislation with the same confidence they show when specifying lime mortars or analysing medieval roof structures.
