Renovation and repair of listed buildings. What you need to know

Preserved buildings exercise an aristocratic charm while at the same time being a distinct reference to the cultural heritage of a place. Their maintenance, however, which may include their renovation and repair, often becomes a "headache" for their owners. The reason is the particularity of the building but also the restrictions that apply regarding these procedures.

Renovation and repair of preserved buildings – What are the restrictions

  • In a preserved building, any intervention without the approval of the competent ministry that declared it preserved is prohibited.
  • The owner of such a building has an obligation to undertake its repair and maintenance
  • Any repair or renovation process must follow and respect the existing architecture of the building.
  • Any repair study needs to be approved by the relevant committee. For each change during the progress of the work, the study needs to be re-approved.

Renovation and repair of preserved buildings – Wooden frames

In the majority of preserved buildings, in their original form we will find wooden frames, shutters, doors etc. This means that in a possible renovation or repair, the owner must incorporate the wooden frames into the new design.

This, in some cases can seem complicated as the original design is completely different from anything that can be found in the market today.

Here, it is very important to choose the right partner.

wood is a very malleable material that with the appropriate treatments will turn into which we desire. At the same time, with the help of modern painting methods and the variety of colors, we can achieve a modern, elegant and perfectly matching version of the older frames.
