Period Property Maintenance
Heritage Building Restoration Specialists
Summit Conservation specialises in the conservation and restoration of Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian period homes throughout Ireland.
A period home is a working building, not a finished object. Cared for properly, it outlives all of us.
Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian houses were built with solid masonry, lime mortars, lime plaster and natural slate — materials that move, absorb and release moisture together. Maintaining that balance is what keeps the building dry, stable and comfortable, and it is why repairs to period homes need conservation knowledge rather than general building practice.
Our stonemasons, bricklayers and conservators carry out repairs that respect the character, breathability and structural integrity of the house, whether that is a single chimney stack, a full front elevation or a phased programme of works agreed over several years.

Breathable Damp Solutions for period properties
Moisture is the single most common reason owners of period homes contact us. Rather than treating the symptom, we investigate where the water is coming from and repair the building in materials it was designed to work with.

Every building requires an individual approach.
Our skilled stonemasons, bricklayers and conservators specialise in repairing and preserving historic façades and period properties. We look at the building first, establish what is actually happening to it, and then recommend the repairs that suit its materials and construction.
