Historical Buildings

During the late 1980's Dr Nikolaus Pevsner (renowned building historian) described Devon as "a county that is changing rapidly and whose distinctive architectural heritage needs to be guarded sensitively if more is to survive than picture postcard prettiness". Similarly the remainder of the West Country.

We have the specialist expertise necessary to ensure that your particular part of the south west's heritage is sensitively guarded. That expertise is across the broadest range of building types; from vernacular cob and thatch through timber framing to clay tile and brick; from Devonian limestones and sandstones to Somerset Bath and Ham Hill limestones; from the slates and hard sandstones of Exmoor to the granite which undoubtedly holds pride of place on Dartmoor and throughout much of Cornwall.

Our West Country surveyors, partners, Stephen Turnham BSc FRICS and Mark Assinder BSC (Hons) MRICS (Chartered Building Surveyors) have some fifty years shared experience between them. Our success if based upon knowledgeable and approachable local people quickly and efficiently providing good common sense advice.
