We search the Historic Environment Record, local archives, and planning history to identify heritage constraints, then assess how they affect your project timeline and consent risk. This screening gives you a clear understanding of heritage constraints, so you can approach pre-application discussions with confidence.

We deploy a field archaeologist to observe groundworks, record features in real time, and produce a site report that ensures compliance and avoids costly delays. This is the ideal solution when there is moderate risk of archaeology, but full excavation is not warranted.

We examine the historic significance of your property and its setting, then document the impact of your proposed works to produce a planning-ready statement. This document is essential for securing planning permission or listed building consent, providing a clear assessment of significance and the impact of your proposals.

We review your design against statutory protection and policy, then advise on consent pathways, likely conditions, and evidence needed to secure approval. We help you navigate design, materials, and policy compliance, so you can submit a robust application with confidence.

We compile desk-based research and assess heritage impacts, producing a single combined report that covers baseline, significance, and mitigation for your site. This bundle provides a complete heritage package, ensuring you have all the evidence needed to support your planning application.

We research the history and significance of a building or site, then compile evidence and draft a nomination statement for local listing. This is a vital tool for recognising and safeguarding non-designated heritage.

We gather heritage evidence, identify locally significant assets, and draft policy wording to strengthen your neighbourhood plan's heritage framework. This helps protect what matters to your community.

We scan below the surface using non-invasive methods to map buried archaeology, producing survey plans that identify features before any groundworks begin. This is a cost-effective way to map potential archaeology before any ground disturbance takes place.

We assess historic farmstead buildings and landscape features, producing a report that supports diversification, conversion, or stewardship applications. This provides a clear understanding of the site's heritage value.

We plan and conduct interviews, capture professional audio, and produce transcripts and summaries — creating a lasting record of community memory. This is a valuable way to preserve community heritage and create a lasting record of local life.

We trace ownership and exhibition history using archives, catalogues, and public records, verifying the chain of custody from maker to present day. This research builds a robust chain of ownership, from creation to the present day.

We digitise historical documents, maps, and photographs, cataloguing and preparing a digital archive that makes your collections accessible and secure. This preserves fragile originals while opening up new ways to explore the past.

We examine artefacts physically and stylistically, comparing them with known examples to produce a detailed authentication report. This service is used by museums, collectors, and auction houses to build confidence in acquisitions and collections.

We develop accessible narratives from research, producing interpretive text and visual concepts that connect audiences with your heritage site. This is ideal for exhibitions, visitor centres, or any project that needs to tell a compelling story.

We design and lead public heritage walks, researching stories and planning routes to engage visitors and generate income for your site. Perfect for community engagement, tourism, or generating income for heritage projects.

We assess building condition and reuse potential, identifying consent pathways and funding sources to help you bring a historic building back into use. We help developers and community groups navigate the complexities of bringing old buildings back into viable use.

We design curriculum-aligned outdoor sessions, providing equipment and teaching to deliver hands-on archaeology and history learning for schools. These practical, outdoor learning experiences bring heritage to life for students of all ages.

We provide trained guides and interpretation support, helping you deliver engaging visitor days and open events at your heritage site. Perfect for open days, festivals, or seasonal events.

We research your heritage story, then build a brand identity, assets, and guidelines that help you reach and engage your target audiences. This service helps you connect with audiences, attract visitors, and build a lasting identity that reflects your heritage values.

We research the historic and architectural significance of your church, then produce a faculty petition-ready statement that meets diocesan requirements. We help parishes navigate the unique ecclesiastical approval system, providing the robust evidence needed for church buildings and churchyards.

We inspect churchyard memorials to identify unstable stones, produce a prioritised report, and recommend actions to manage liability and safety. This survey helps parishes manage liability and plan maintenance, with clear, prioritised recommendations for action.
