Our Old Building Renovation Service

TeeSon offers a turnkey renovation solution for old buildings, guiding you seamlessly from vision and feasibility through design, construction, and post-occupancy support. We tailor our approach to each property’s unique condition, combining careful preservation of architectural features with strategic upgrades that meet modern standards for comfort, efficiency, and safety.

Our Renovation Process for Old Buildings

1. Initial Consultation and Vision Setting: We meet you on-site to understand your goals, identify priorities, and outline potential constraints. This session shapes the project brief and establishes core objectives for restoration, adaptive reuse, or modernization.

2. Detailed Condition Survey and Structural Assessment: Our surveyors and structural engineers conduct a fabric assessment, uncover hidden defects, and map the building’s load-bearing elements. A comprehensive report highlights critical areas for repair, reinforcement, and environmental hazards such as asbestos or damp.

3. Feasibility Study and Budget Planning: We analyse survey findings and your objectives to produce a feasibility study. This document presents scope options, cost estimates, and a high-level timeline. You gain clarity on funding requirements and project risks before moving forward.

4. Design and Restoration Strategy: Our architects and conservation experts develop restoration plans that balance historical authenticity with modern performance. We refine layouts, specify materials, and integrate new systems while preserving key architectural details like cornices, facades, and original joinery.

5. Permits, Consents, and Heritage Approvals: TeeSon’s permitting team coordinates all applications for planning permission, listed-building consent, and building regulations compliance. Early engagement with conservation officers and local authorities reduces delays and ensures lawful, compliant work.

6. Preparatory Works and Site Safeguarding: Before construction begins, we secure the site, install temporary protections for sensitive features, remove hazardous materials, and set up contractor welfare facilities. This phase protects both workers and the building’s fabric.

7. Structural Reinforcement and Stabilisation: We implement targeted repairs to foundations, load-bearing walls, and beams. Techniques may include underpinning, steel framing, or resin injection. Ongoing structural monitoring confirms that the building remains stable throughout the works.

8. MEP Upgrades and Modern Systems: Integration Licensed specialists upgrade electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and fire-protection systems. We conceal new installations within existing cavities or purpose-built ducts, preserving historical finishes while delivering modern efficiency and safety standards.

9. Conservation and Restoration Works: Our skilled craftsmen repair masonry, timber, and decorative elements. Lime mortars, traditional plasterwork, and specialist paint techniques restore the original aesthetic. Wherever possible, we salvage and refurbish existing materials to maintain authenticity.

10. Interior Fit-Out and Finishing Touches: We install insulation, finishes, fixtures, and bespoke joinery that respect the building’s character. Final painting, flooring, and lighting schemes are executed with precision. Regular walkthroughs let you verify progress and approve details.

11. Final Inspection, Handover, and Support: An independent inspection confirms compliance with regulations and our exacting quality standards. We deliver a full handover package including as-built drawings, maintenance manuals, and warranties. Our team remains available for post-occupancy evaluations and ongoing support.
