Heritage Restorations
Heritage buildings are vital connections to our history, culture, and architectural legacy. At Impact Group NSW, we understand the importance of preserving the unique character and value of these structures
Our heritage restoration services are designed to sensitively repair, rehabilitate, and protect these historic assets while adhering to conservation principles and ensuring compliance with heritage standards.
Our Approach to Heritage Restoration
Restoring heritage buildings requires a careful balance between preserving historical features and upgrading structures to meet modern safety, durability, and usage standards. We take a sympathetic approach to each project, working closely with stakeholders, heritage architects, and conservation experts to ensure that all restoration works are in line with regulatory requirements and best practices. Our approach includes:
- Condition Assessment & Planning: We conduct detailed assessments of the building’s condition to identify structural and material issues. This helps develop a clear restoration plan that outlines the scope of work while respecting the building’s historical significance.
- Rehabilitation, Restoration & Reconstruction: Depending on the project requirements, we offer a combination of rehabilitation (making a structure fit for use), restoration (returning a structure to its original state), and reconstruction (replicating lost or damaged elements).
- Material Matching & Surface Treatments: We replicate historic materials and finishes to ensure that any repair or replacement work blends seamlessly with the original structure, preserving the building’s unique aesthetic
Our Heritage Services
We offer a wide range of services for heritage buildings to ensure their preservation and continued use:
Asbestos & Lead Paint Removal
Many heritage buildings contain hazardous materials like asbestos and lead-based paints. Our team is trained to safely encapsulate or remove these materials while protecting the building’s original features.
Concrete Repair & Structural Upgrades
Concrete elements in heritage buildings may suffer from wear, cracking, or spalling over time. We provide specialised concrete repair services to restore the structural integrity of these buildings while preserving their original design.
Façade Restoration & Refurbishments
The façade is often the most distinctive part of a heritage building. Our façade restoration services involve cleaning, repairing, and preserving brickwork, stone, timber, and decorative elements to maintain the building’s historical appearance.
Preservation of Heritage Structures
From repointing mortar joints to reinforcing timber frames, we provide comprehensive preservation services aimed at extending the life of heritage structures while ensuring their authenticity and architectural value are retained.
Waterproofing & Protection
Water ingress is a common issue that can damage heritage structures. We offer a range of waterproofing solutions, using materials and methods that are appropriate for heritage buildings and designed to protect them from the elements without altering their appearance.
Painting & Surface Treatments
We provide painting and surface treatments that not only enhance the building’s appearance but also contribute to its protection. Our specialists use historically accurate colours and techniques to ensure that any treatment respects the building’s heritage.
The Benefits of Early Contractor Involvement (ECI)
We recommend involving our team early in the restoration planning process to benefit from collaborative input from all stakeholders, including heritage architects and consultants. Early involvement allows for:
- Accurate Budget Planning: Increased accuracy in project budgeting and the identification of potential risks early in the planning phase.
- Expert Consultation: Access to specialised knowledge on materials, techniques, and compliance requirements for heritage structures.
- Tailored Solutions: Development of appropriate sample finishes and parameters to ensure that the final restoration respects the historical integrity of the building.
