Service

Led by Heritage Operations Manager Craig Jenkins MCIOB, a qualified stonemason with over 30 years of construction and heritage experience, our team combines extensive hands-on knowledge with professional management and modern project delivery.


Our skilled in-house stonemasons, bricklayers and joiners are supported by a trusted network of specialist subcontractors, allowing G&B Heritage to undertake everything from small conservation repairs and planned maintenance through to larger, multi-discipline restoration projects.
We work collaboratively with clients, conservation architects, surveyors and other heritage professionals to develop practical solutions that respect the history and character of each building while delivering safe, durable and high-quality repairs.
Detailed condition assessments of historic, listed and period buildings and structures. We identify defects including deterioration, water ingress, masonry failure and structural movement, providing clear recommendations to support appropriate conservation and repair strategies.
Our experienced stonemasons and bricklayers repair and restore historic stone and brickwork using traditional craftsmanship, carefully selected materials and appropriate repair techniques to retain as much original fabric as possible.
We undertake specialist repointing of historic brick and stonework using appropriate lime mortars and carefully matched materials. Correct preparation and application help protect masonry from weathering while maintaining the breathability and character of the original construction.
We conserve, strengthen and rebuild vulnerable historic masonry including boundary walls, façades and other structures. Techniques can include localised rebuilding, void grouting, masonry pinning and stone-by-stone reconstruction, using matched stone and traditional lime mortars wherever appropriate.
Our in-house joiners repair, restore and reproduce traditional timber elements, carefully matching existing details and materials to retain the character and appearance of historic buildings.
Using carefully selected, low-impact methods, we remove biological growth, dirt, grime and unwanted coatings from historic surfaces while minimising the risk of damage to the underlying material.
Not every heritage project needs to be a major restoration. Our in-house trades provide responsive maintenance and repair services for historic properties and structures, from isolated masonry and joinery repairs to urgent works required to prevent further deterioration.
From a single masonry repair to the restoration of a historic structure, we approach every project with the same focus on craftsmanship, appropriate materials and respect for the existing building.
We work with property owners, local authorities, architects, surveyors and organisations responsible for historic assets, providing practical support from initial survey and investigation through to completion on site.
