Buildings are listed when they possess special historical or architectural value in a national context. Listed buildings have additional legal and planning protection. Waterstreet Construction specialises in listed building repairs and uses traditional skills and methods to ensure all listed building restorations we undertake are legal, safe, and in keeping with the aesthetic and integrity of the original build. We even offer roofing services to fully protect these properties.
The builders at Waterstreet Construction are highly experienced and carefully finish all listed building renovations in Yeovil and the surrounding areas.
Call Us TodayMost listed buildings were typically built with timber frames or solid masonry walls. These constructions differ from most modern builds because of the permeable materials used and the balance that needs to be maintained. The mortars and walls used to build historic homes have been updated and altered to meet modern requirements. Modern constructions help keep moisture out of buildings with installations such as damp-proof course. However, these updated additions are not always compatible with older homes and cannot be used during a listed building restoration.
