Church Renovations & Restorations

Churches are among the most cherished landmarks in our towns and countryside, embodying centuries of faith, community and craftsmanship. At A1 Complete Builders, we honour that heritage through meticulous church renovations and restorations, combining traditional materials and techniques with modern engineering to ensure these buildings not only look magnificent, but last for generations.
Our approach begins with a thorough survey to assess the condition of the structure — masonry, roof timbers, leadwork, windows, plaster, flooring and any decorative or architectural detailing. We pay special attention to areas often overlooked, such as rising damp, roof water ingress, or failing stonework, which can cause widespread damage if not addressed early.

When it comes to materials, we use authentic and sympathetic choices: stone that matches the original masonry; lime mortar and lime plaster, breathable finishes that allow moisture to escape; lead or copper for roofing where historically accurate; attention to stained-glass windows, woodwork and metalwork, ensuring that replacements or repairs blend seamlessly with existing features.
The restoration works we undertake include repointing, stone and brick repairs, roof restoration (slates, tiles or lead), refurbishment of bell towers and spires, conservation of stained glass, internal redecoration that respects historic colour palettes, and improvements to access, lighting or heating—always carried out with respect for listed status or heritage constraints.

We are experienced in working with ecclesiastical authorities, heritage bodies and conservation officers, securing necessary consents, complying with listed-building regulations, and ensuring that every intervention is reversible where possible. Our craftsmen are skilled in lime and cob work, stone carving, carpentry, lead work and joinery, ensuring high-quality finish and structural integrity.

At A1 Complete Builders we understand that restoring a church is more than simply refurbishing a building—it is preserving a living piece of history for the community, for worship, for ceremony, and for future generations. If you are looking to restore or renovate your church, we’d welcome the opportunity to bring our experience, care, and craftsmanship to your project.
