That musty smell. Crumbling plaster. A dark patch that never dries. You might think you need a chemical injection or a waterproof membrane. But the real fix starts with knowing what you’re treating.

We follow British Standards for damp proofing and structural waterproofing, but we never skip the diagnosis. Wet rot, dry rot, below ground water, or failed plaster. We match the repair to your building, using traditional lime, epoxy where it helps, or cavity membranes where needed.

Get the right treatment the first time. Message us to talk through your damp problem.

Think your period home is just showing its age? That patch of damp might be something else entirely...

Our conservation team digs deeper. We look at structural movement, timber decay, wood-boring insects, below-ground water pe*******on, even concrete analysis. You get a clear picture of what’s wrong and what actually needs doing. No guesswork. No modern bodge jobs.

Book a stand-alone survey and let’s talk about what we find.

This traditional stone barn had suffered years of water ingress, leading to significant washout of the wall core and loss of structural integrity. Like many older buildings, the issue wasn’t just surface damage — it was trapped moisture and failing past repairs accelerating decay.

Our approach focused on conservation first:

Carefully dismantled and rebuilt the collapsed section using the original stone wherever possible
Reinstated the wall using traditional methods to match the existing fabric
Repointed in breathable lime mortar, allowing moisture to escape naturally and protecting the masonry long-term
Installed new rainwater goods above to properly manage runoff and eliminate the root cause of the damage 💧

This was about respecting the building’s history while ensuring it performs as intended for decades to come. Sympathetic materials. Traditional techniques. Long-term thinking.

Last Thursday we marked an important milestone as we said thank you to Simon Wynn and Tim Carter.

Since joining us in 2017, Simon and Tim have played a key role in developing our Special Works division, known externally as Kilbury Conservation alongside Kilbury Construction. Their expertise in damp proofing, timber treatment, and specialist works on historic buildings has opened up a diverse and valuable workstream for the business.

As they move on to new opportunities, we thank them for their dedication and the strong foundations they leave behind.

We’re also pleased to see the next chapter begin, with Neil Lester and Calum Dean taking the baton forward. With their leadership, the future of this division is in very capable hands.

Wishing Simon and Tim every success for the future!

Great to have an insider’s view of what’s happening to the missing link! It was a real pleasure to be up on Shab Hill with Constructing Excellence marveling at big build programme and fascinating to hear how they’re looking after ecology.

There’s a visitor drop-in centre and a fact for interest: they’re building 7.5 kilometers of drystone walling!

Great programme with great support and friends made for life. Thanks QuoLux

Huge congratulations to Colin Westbury on graduating from GOLD™ Cohort 13.
Colin came into the programme as Managing Director of Kilbury Construction/Conservation already leading a business that demands real craft and care, in every sense. Watching him bring that same thoughtfulness to his own leadership development has been a genuine pleasure.

Completing GOLD™ is no small thing. It takes commitment, honesty and a willingness to look hard at yourself and how you lead. Colin has done all of that.

Well done, Colin. Kilbury Construction/Conservation is lucky to have you at the helm.
