About Marcus Cole
I specialize in the restoration and conservation of historic and period properties, focusing on listed buildings and homes in conservation areas. My work balances modern living requirements with strict heritage regulations, sourcing period-appropriate materials and traditional construction techniques. Over twelve years, I have completed over 35 restoration projects across the UK, including Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas, and medieval cottages. Recently, I led the sensitive restoration of a Grade II listed 18th-century farmhouse, replacing the failing lime plaster ceiling with traditional materials while discreetly upgrading insulation and electrics, preserving the building's character while achieving a 45 percent improvement in energy efficiency.
