'Minimum intervention - maximum results'

Every client regards their building as unique - and so do we. 

Finns offers a complete restoration solution for each client be it a private dwelling or a high profile figurehead property, heritage monument or Protected structure. 

Historic structures are a unique resource. Once lost, they cannot be replaced. If their special qualities are degraded, these can rarely be recaptured. Damage can be caused to the character of a historic structure as much by over-attention as by neglect. 

Over-restoration can harm the special qualities of a building with the loss of details, materials and craftsmanship which, while sometimes seeming of little significance in themselves, can contribute to the character of the building and make it special. For this reason, it is vitally important that expert advice is sought prior to embarking on renovations which may damage heritage irrevocably.

Finns have been the main restoration contractor for the past five years at the Royal Victoria Eye & Ear Hospital, Dublin. The pictures,above, show the careful restoration of Victorian turrets on the hospital's roof. Picture: Tim McAvoy/Finns

Our consultants can advise on the most sympathetic repair and renovation work required and we are happy to project manage any phase of the works you need. We work to the principles outlined in the  Government guidance on Architectural Heritage Protection so you can be assured that our meets all the regulatory requirements.

Or you may want to draw upon our years of expertise in rope access for tall structures particularly church spires and steeples, one of the cornerstones on which Finns was built.
