Conservation:

Patterson Bannon Architects Ltd is a practice accredited in Conservation at Grade III level. We can provide advice in relation to:

• Legal background to conservation and the implications of the purchase of a protected structure
• Statutory obligations for declarations, notifications and consents
• Need for historic research and specialist advice
• Appropriate general repairs to historic fabric and new uses for historic buildings
• Applying for funds and grants for conservation work
• The conservation implications and need for specialist design for temporary works, demolition and shoring for historic buildings.
• Examine a historic building or site and identify its emotional cultural and use significance
• Commission searches of records and archives
• Diagnose in broad outline causes of decay and recommend appropriate specialist investigation
• The design of appropriate alterations and extensions to historic buildings
• Document the works executed on site and make them accessible.
• Liaise with Grade I and Grade II Architects and practices where appropriate.

The practice has considerable experience in the role of conservation. Roger Patterson in his role as Diocesan Architect for Church of Ireland for 15 years has carried out many conservation projects. A list of some examples of our conservation work can be found on this web site.
