COMPANY PROFILE

Robinsons Preservation Ltd has been established over 55 years and has, throughout those years, built up the reputation of being one of the leaders in the field of restoration and preservation. Since 1956, Robinsons have been actively engaged in the restoration of our architectural heritage. These buildings range from terraced houses to historic castles.

Buildings are inspected by fully qualified surveyors to the CSRT standards to provide independent and unbiased reports.

A recent addition to the services is infra-red thermograph. This system has been developed for detecting water ingress and cold bridges in the structures of ecclesiastical and historic buildings. This measures the temperatures of surfaces (i.e. walls / ceilings) and can measure the temperature accurately to a tolerance of 0.1 Degrees Centigrade. Early detection of water ingress can help control Dry Rot or even prevent. Full detailed reports with coloured photography are provided after an inspection.
