Repairs and Conservation Architect

South West Specialists

BluePrint Architectural Workshop advises on the repair and conservation of significant listed and historic properties throughout Devon, Cornwall, and the South West.


With over 15 years’ experience directing conservation projects — including National Trust schemes — we develop repair strategies that secure consents, specify authentic materials, and coordinate specialist trades to exacting standards. Our 99% consent success rate reflects our established relationships with conservation officers and our deep knowledge of local precedents.


The challenges we address

Historic fabric requires a forensic assessment before any intervention. We identify defects — damp ingress, timber decay, masonry movement — and resolve them using proven techniques: lime-based renders, slate rebedding, oak-framing repairs. Retrofit measures are integrated where consents allow, prioritising fabric-first measures.

What we deliver

  • Thorough condition surveys and defect investigations.
  • Targeted repair schedules and specifications.
  • Listed Building Consent and Planning applications.
  • Tender processes and trade coordination.
  • Principal Designer oversight through to completion certification.


Our proprietary approach ensures repairs enhance rather than compromise historic value while meeting contemporary standards for use and durability

Customer review: 5-stars!
An excellent choice of listed building architects.
Paul was a great support to us throughout the complicated process of
planning for a listed property. He was able to manage both the council's and our expectations with a comprehensive set of plans and reports that satisfied
both parties. This minimised the potential rewrites and extra costs. He will always go the extra mile in helping identify other suppliers in the market, as
well as give constructive opinions.
