Slater Conservation Limited specialises in the repair and conservation of historic timber frame buildings, both listed and unlisted. With over 15 years of experience, the company is dedicated to preserving traditional craftsmanship and historic integrity. This commitment is underscored by participation in the SPAB (Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings) Fellowship Programme, which deepened the understanding of traditional building methods and conservation, including millwrighting.
The company offers a comprehensive range of services, including timber-frame repairs, new timber-frame construction, fine cabinetry, and work on wooden yachts. They pride themselves on attention to detail, traditional methods, and quality workmanship, working closely with clients to ensure satisfaction. Liaising with conservation and planning officers is also a key part of their project approach, ensuring all legal and recommended requirements are met.
Notable projects include the complete repair and conservation of a fire-destroyed historic public house, which won the Maldon District Council 2017 Building Conservation Award. Another award-winning project was the repair of a C15th grade II listed timber-framed house in Cold Norton, Essex, recognised for exceptional carpentry and research. Smaller projects encompass bespoke home remodelling, including windows, shutters, kitchen work islands, worktops, cabinets, doors, garden pergolas, and heirloom cribs.
