Builders in Walsingham

Walsingham is one of England's great pilgrimage villages. Pilgrims have travelled here since the Middle Ages to the Shrine of Our Lady, and today the village has both Anglican and Roman Catholic shrines, the ruins of Walsingham Priory in the Abbey grounds, and a medieval street pattern lined with timber-framed, flint and brick buildings. Most of Little Walsingham lies within a conservation area, and a high proportion of its buildings are listed.

We know Walsingham's buildings first-hand. Our restoration of a flint cottage and adjoining barn here involved re-thatching the barn, rebuilding chimney breasts, restoring the original roof timbers and forming new openings in the flint walls for steel-framed glazing, with underfloor heating beneath new terracotta floors. You can see the full project below.

That project is typical of the work Walsingham's buildings need: careful repair, traditional materials, and modern comfort added without losing the character that makes these homes special. As specialists in listed buildings, we work alongside your architect and the conservation officer when consent is required.

Walsingham is about 11 miles from our Holt base, around 20 minutes by road, and we also cover Great Walsingham, Houghton St Giles, East Barsham and the surrounding villages.

Typical jobs in and around Walsingham include repairing timber frames and flint walls, rebuilding chimneys, re-roofing in clay pantiles and thatch, converting barns and outbuildings, and carefully modernising kitchens, bathrooms and heating in historic homes. Every trade is handled by our own team, from structural repairs to joinery and decoration, so the whole job is planned and finished as one.
