1. Drafts and heat loss
If your home feels cold despite heating, it could be a sign that insulation is outdated or missing. We assess roof spaces, walls and floors to improve energy performance using breathable, heritage-friendly materials.
2. Failing windows and doors
Rotten timber, stiff sashes or gaps around frames all indicate it’s time for renewal. We can replace or restore using double-glazed heritage sash units that retain the look but upgrade the performance.
3. Outdated services
Old wiring and plumbing can pose risks. We work with specialist contractors to sensitively upgrade services, ensuring modern safety standards are met while concealing works where possible.
4. Signs of damp or movement
Cracks, peeling paint or damp patches may indicate structural issues or poor ventilation. Our team diagnoses root causes and applies long-term solutions, not cosmetic fixes.
5. Layout doesn’t suit your lifestyle
Period properties weren’t designed for open-plan living. We rework internal layouts to improve flow, add space, and adapt for modern family life, always with respect for the building’s history.
At Build Nine, we don’t just renovate, we revive. Our approach is tailored, respectful and precise, ensuring that each improvement enhances the home’s story while meeting your needs for the future.
