Respecting the Past, Building for the Future

Restoring a listed building demands balance — preserving the artistry of the past while meeting the functionality of the present.
Bigness delivers this harmony through collaboration with Historic England, local planning authorities, and certified heritage specialists.
Our projects maintain authenticity while improving safety, insulation, and sustainability — ensuring your property continues to inspire for generations.

We use sympathetic methods such as lime plastering, breathable paints, timber repair splicing, and low-impact structural ties.
Modern upgrades like discreet LED lighting, underfloor heating, and smart climate control can be integrated without disturbing heritage aesthetics.

Planning & Compliance

Bigness manages all required heritage consents and Building Control documentation.
We prepare:

• Listed Building Consent submissions

• Method Statements & Conservation Plans

• Material samples and technical data sheets

• H&S and environmental compliance documentation

All works are carried out in accordance with BS 7913:2013 – Guide to the Conservation of Historic Buildings, and we work closely with conservation officers to achieve full approval at every stage.

Sustainability in Heritage

Historic buildings can be energy-efficient too.
Through secondary glazing, insulation upgrades, and low-carbon heating, we enhance comfort while respecting the original envelope.
Our aim is to preserve craftsmanship, reduce environmental impact, and extend the life of London’s architectural heritage.
