Heritage Restoration for a Leading UK Pub Chain - Macclesfield. 

This project centred on restoring a historic listed pub for the UK’s largest pub chain. Their nationwide upgrade programme demands quality, sensitivity, and real respect for heritage, making this refurbishment a key part of protecting the building’s long-term future.

Situation

The pub required careful restoration to preserve its character while resolving structural, aesthetic, and energy-efficiency issues. Working within the constraints of a listed building added complexity, demanding a balance between conservation requirements and the practical needs of a modern hospitality space.

The Solution

 Our team carried out a full conservation-led refurbishment, including dismantling and rebuilding a listed chimney, installing high-quality like-for-like timber sash windows, and renewing cast iron rainwater goods. Stone and render repairs tackled weathering, while full redecoration enhanced durability and appearance. Every element followed heritage guidelines to protect the building’s unique character.

The Outcome

The refurbishment strengthened the building’s lifespan, preserved its historic features, and elevated the overall look and performance of the property. The result is a carefully restored, welcoming pub ready to serve its community for many years.
