Pre-emptive services to highlight and address areas requiring attention long before they become a costly and problematic issue. Working with churchwardens and private clients across the region, we undertake the regular maintenance required to ensure the fabric of each building is in a healthy state of repair; tackling your annual checklist, undertaking periodic remedial works, ticking off outstanding items from an existing quinquennial report or ensuring drainage and rainwater goods are fully operational seasonally; there is no need to feel unsure about who to contact.

Utilising Keystone’s no cost in-house survey in conjunction with an on-site client consultation, has become a very popular method of tackling essential scheduled maintenance. Any issues can be investigated where problems are evident and a solution specified and costed for approval.

To our clients this simply makes sense, saves them numerous calls and emails attempting to source and vet competent workmen for each separate item which consequently means reducing, but also spreading the costs of up-keep. Why wait until extensive restorative work is required? With a raft of glowing testimonials and a long list of regular, highly satisfied clients all working hard to ensure their respective building is maintained for generations to come, you can be assured you’re in safe hands.
