Calleva House, Wallingford

BCA received planning and listed building approval for the refurbishment of a private house in Wallingford. Works are due to start on site early 2024.

Brooklyn Cottage

We were called in to provide specialist conservation advice for the repair and restoration of this mid eighteenth-century cottage just outside Bath. This involved the preparation of specifications and method statements for the new lime mortar, stone cleaning, elm floor repairs, and lime plaster.

Macaulay Buildings

We obtained planning and Listed Building Consent for the alteration and extension of a house in Macaulay Buildings, Bath. This forms part of a pair of Grade II semi-detached early 19th century villas, situated within the Bath conservation area and World Heritage Site. The site also falls within the boundary of the Bath & Bristol Green Belt and the Cotswolds AONB. It forms part of an intentional streetscape of three pairs of semi-detached villas, undertaken by Thomas Macaulay Cruttwell, that step down the steep east-west slope of Widcombe Hill. The alterations were considered suitable to the historic importance of the building and granted approval.

Elms Cross Drive

A mid-century modern house in Bradford on Avon was given a significant overhaul to improve the thermal performance, extend the living areas and open up the interior to provide an elegant modernist home.

Quinquennial Keynsham

A regular five yearly quinquennial inspection and report on the historic fabric of these nineteenth century Mortuary Chapels at Keynsham Cemetery. These two Chapels were built in 1877-8 by Charles Edward Davis, The Architect who worked on the nineteenth century redevelopment of the Roman Baths in Bath. The Chapels here are built over the substantial remains of a large Roman Vill complex. Archaeologists believe that this villa may have been the home a high ranking retired-army officer or civil servant, and it had over 30 rooms, hypocaust heated floors, and numerous elaborate and expensive mosaics. The nineteenth century Chapels suffer from structural movement caused in part by the disturbed roman remains beneath. We provided advice on the extent and methods of repair to the structure whilst avoiding any disturbance to the Roman Villa beneath.

Manvers Baptist Church

A regular five yearly quinquennial inspection and report on the historic fabric of this nineteenth century city centre Church and its Open House Centre which offers direct support to the homeless, some of the most marginalised people in the City.

Greenhouse at Salthrop House

Planning approval confirmed for the new timber framed greenhouse at Salthrop House, set within the kitchen garden and reuses existing greenhouse brick wall from previous construction prior to the greenhouse collapse.

Entry Hill

We obtained planning permission and Listed Building Consent for a side extension to this charming stone cottage on the outskirts of bath. The alterations used a mix of local stone, oak framing and steel framed glazing to add a light and open living space to the house.

Wallington Hall

We prepared a quinquennial inspection and report on the historic fabric of this late sixteenth century building in the Centre of Bradford on Avon. Built originally for church use.
