Gee & Co Ltd

Gee & Co Ltd carries out repair and conservation work on historic buildings and scheduled monuments across East Devon, West Dorset and South Somerset. The firm combines conservation main contracting with historic building consultancy, so a single team can handle a project from the first site meeting through to completion. Early stages can include condition reports, material analysis, historic building reports, drawings, structural reports and a specification of works, together with advice on whether listed building consent or planning permission is needed. Its own practitioners then carry out the work. The company places emphasis on vernacular and locally sourced materials, and works with a Belgian maker of lime and hemp building blocks to offer a design-and-build system in the UK.
