🤔 Did you know that church pinnacles are far more than decorative? These weathered stone features play a vital role in keeping the structure beneath them steady—an unseen force anchoring the church to the ground.

In building conservation the buck doesn’t stop at the building. Our work extends into the life of the community too. Community engagement is a core part of what we do - helping people connect with the stories, skills and heritage that shape their place. 👉 rmbconservation.co.uk/community-en...

A few small cracks at a church in Wales led us to deeper stories — rusted cramps, trapped moisture, weathering. Each survey teaches us more about how old buildings change. Our approach is holistic — considering material, structure, climate, and many other factors to find the best way forward.

As part of a larger scope of works RMB Conservation recently rebuilt an extension to this historic farmhouse in Snowdonia.

The new work felt as though it had always been part of the building. It was clad with field stone sourced from the client’s own land.
