We at Syme Historic pride ourselves in delivering a high quality service. With our breadth of knowledge and experience working on many historic buildings we are able to respectfully return timber frame buildings to their former glory, sympathetically extend listed buildings and creatively interpret our clients ideas to construct their beautiful new homes.

Conservation Work

Traditional building craft is at the heart of Syme Historic. We care about the health of old buildings and our shared architectural heritage. Years of experience have taught us how the inappropriate use of modern materials can be extremely detrimental to the fabric of old houses. This same experience has also taught us how best this degradation can be mitigated.
In line with Historic England guidance, we aim to conserve as much of the original fabric of the house as possible, whilst adequately addressing all structural issues apparent. We will put back only the best and most appropriate materials in a sympathetic way.

Extensions

We have added extensions to many buildings and our knowledge and experience allows us to advise our clients how best to complement their existing home, whether this is through a traditional or contemporary style.

New Builds

Many years of learning from historic buildings is constantly enriching our understanding of their form, structure and place in its context.  We develop knowledge gleaned from the past, to create homes with integrity for the future.
