Restoration, Conservation, Cob & Lime Specialists
At A1 Complete Builders, our Churches conservation and restoration work combines deep respect for heritage with the craftsmanship to ensure these sacred places remain both beautiful and functional for generations. Whether it’s repairing stonework, refurbishing timber beams, restoring stained glass windows or re-roofing, we approach every church project with sensitivity to architectural detail and historic fabric. We understand the challenges of working in listed buildings or places of worship — the regulations, the specialist materials and the need for minimal disruption — and we bring collaborative expertise to liaise with ecclesiastical authorities, heritage bodies and congregations alike. From structural repairs and masonry repointing to interior re-ordering, accessibility upgrades and heating or lighting installations, our team covers all aspects. Our aim is not just to preserve, but to revitalise: making churches safe, welcoming and spiritually uplifting, while honouring their history and community role. With A1 Complete Builders, your church isn’t just restored—it’s respectfully renewed.

A1 complete builders have been instructed by Robert shaw Architects to undertake the Restoration of this 700 hundred year old church creating bat crawl ways.
When approached by the Diocese member of Kenwyn church to undertake repairs we was delighted as we have a keen interest in Restoration work.
This fascinating 15th Century houses a peal of eight huge bells all in superb working order suspended 50 foot up the Tower.
Also an impressive tiny solid granite spiral stair reaching from the bottom to the top.
The church received a full restoration between 1820 - 1862, We have been instructed by Diocese to erect scaffolding 80ft up the clock face and suspend around one pinnacle in need of urgent repair.
The clock face has also been removed and fully restored and painted.
We undertake our work very sympathetically and our highly skilled craftsmen take great care in their work.
The pinnacle has been dismantled and rebuilt with steel dowels being resin anchored into pinnacle stones and relayed in a bed of St Astiers Lime mixed with C.L.S 30 and a Prompt.
All internal walls have been manually raked out and re-pointed with St Astiers 3.5 Lime Mixed with a C.L.S 30 grit sand.
