Listed building restoration and conservation-led repair
Many of our projects are undertaken in live environments, where consideration of building users is of the utmost importance. We have built up an experienced workforce who take unmatched care in their work and are not fazed by what they are trusted to deliver. Between our own direct workforce and specialist sub-contractors we can provide high quality stonework, roofing, lead work and metal work, as well as lime pointing/plastering, carpentry and joinery.

“We are absolutely thrilled with the end result. Greendale has done an absolutely amazing job in updating the building, and conserving and bringing out more of the wonderful historic fabric. Your work has then made everything else possible.”
James Webb, Acting Director – Museum of East Dorset
