Archaeological Services
We specialise in the analysis and recording of historic building, ecclesiastical buildings, and ancient monuments. Our detailed historic building records help satisfy planning conditions, inform sympathetic alterations, and protect heritage significance.
From written schemes of investigation (WSI) required by local planning authorities to on-site archaeological watching briefs, evaluations, and excavations, we can ensure your project remains compliant with planning requirements and industry standards, without necessary delay.
Navigating pre-planning requirements can be challenging. Our team offers high quality consultancy and advice to support projects. These include Heritage Impact Assessments (HIAs), Desk-Based Assessments (DBAs), and expert advice on working with listed buildings and scheduled monuments.

As dendrochronologists, we provide precise tree-ring dating for historic timbers, whether they are from a roof, bell frame, historic furniture, or excavated wood. Whether supporting a formal conservation plan or unlocking the age of your home, we can offer tree tree-ring analysis to support your project. We can also undertake living tree studies to support the understanding of crop development or woodland profiling.
