& REPAIRS
RM Builders & Contractors provide expert historic building maintenance and repair Devon Cornwall and surrounding counties, helping protect listed and heritage properties through regular care. Routine maintenance plays a key role in preserving original materials and preventing costly damage. By addressing issues early, we help avoid major repairs and reduce long-term disruption.
Our approach to historic building maintenance and repair Devon and surrounding counties is based on a clear understanding of traditional construction. Historic buildings behave differently from modern ones. They respond to moisture, temperature and movement in unique ways. For this reason, we assess each building carefully and identify early signs of deterioration before they become serious problems.
We carry out a wide range of routine maintenance and repair works. This includes masonry inspections, lime mortar pointing, roof repairs and rainwater goods maintenance. We also complete timber repairs and manage drainage systems. These elements are essential in protecting buildings from water damage, which is one of the main causes of long-term deterioration.
We focus on minimal intervention wherever possible. When repairs are required, we use compatible materials and traditional methods suited to the building. This ensures repairs perform well without causing harm over time. We only use modern solutions where necessary, and we apply them in a discreet way.
We work closely with owners, custodians and conservation professionals throughout each project. This helps us create practical maintenance plans suited to each building. You can also learn more about our material conservation here.
