We’ve given our logo a bit of a refresh!

A little more refined, and a little more polished.

The business hasn’t changed. The values haven’t changed. And most importantly, the craftsmanship hasn’t changed.

We’re still doing what we have always done - working with traditional materials and techniques to restore and conserve historic and heritage buildings, just with a slightly smarter look!

Thank you to Charlie at Charlie | Eightfold Solutions | Web & Social for your help!
