Listed Building Renovation in Bath
Berkeley Place is a prestigious residential construction company and a specialist in Listed building renovation and enhancement in Bath. We restore and sensitively remodel Grade I and Grade II Georgian homes, guiding clients through Listed Building Consent from the outset.
A World Heritage city
Bath holds one of the densest concentrations of Grade I and Grade II Listed residential property in Britain, from the Royal Crescent and the Circus to the Georgian terraces that define its streets. Renovating here is a responsibility.
Every decision, from stonework to sash windows to interior detail, must honour the architecture. As period and Listed specialists and members of The Georgian Group, we approach these homes with the care they demand.
Listed Building Consent, guided from the start
Unauthorised alterations to a Listed building are a serious matter, and the process can daunt owners. We guide clients from the outset.
Where design expertise is needed, we bring in the most appropriate, tried-and-tested designers competitively. Working alongside conservation officers, we ensure proposals are sympathetic, well evidenced and properly consented before work begins.
Conservation craftsmanship
A Listed home calls for traditional skills and the right people to deliver them. Our established supply chain of trusted heritage specialists covers stone masonry, joinery and traditional fine finishes: lime mortars and plasters, restored sash windows, cornicing and period detail.
We treat original fabric as the starting point, restoring what can be saved and matching what cannot, so the finished home reads as authentic to its age, while cleverly integrating contemporary fittings, including discreet climate control, within the historic fabric.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need Listed Building Consent to renovate a Listed home in Bath?
In most cases, yes. Alterations affecting a Listed building’s character generally require consent, and Bath’s conservation context is strict. We guide owners through what their project needs, so work begins only once the proper permissions are in place.
Can you renovate Grade I and Grade II Listed buildings?
Yes. Listed renovation is our core specialism, covering both grades. We work sensitively with original fabric, traditional materials and the consents these buildings require, which is precisely the expertise Bath’s Listed Georgian homes demand.
How do you protect original features during renovation?
We treat original fabric as the starting point, restoring what can be saved and matching materials where it cannot. Our heritage craftsmen deliver traditional methods, from lime plasters to careful joinery and sash window restoration, so new work sits faithfully alongside the historic.
Can modern comforts be added to a Listed home?
Yes, sensitively. We integrate contemporary fittings, including discreet climate control, within the existing fabric, so comfort is enhanced without compromising the building’s character or its consents.
