Historic & Listed Building Surveyors Oxford

H+R’s Oxford office is a satellite of the main office at Netley House. It serves Oxfordshire, the Cotswolds, the Midlands and the West Country, with occasional forays to West London. The office is staffed by Joe Lovelock, a timber decay specialist, and Matthew Smith, an environmental scientist with a background in building physics. The office undertakes projects ranging from listed cottages to World Heritage sites and is proud to have been involved in recent refurbishment projects at Blenheim Palace alongside numerous Cotswold stone cottages and manor houses. The Oxford office works closely with surveyors at Netley House to ensure the necessary breadth and depth of expertise is applied to our larger projects.

How we work

Specialising in the understanding and assessment of historic building materials and methods of construction, H+R staff focus on understanding the causes of failure, rather than addressing the symptoms, so that recommendations for repairs are robust, durable and cost-effective, and that risk associated with proposed modifications is effectively managed.

If you have a particular property that requires attention or if you would like to enquire about our specialist services, please get in touch.

They responded immediately to my initial email with a call back straight away. All the right questions were asked, and they helped me understand precisely what kind of survey was appropriate. I'm very detail orientated and it was an easy choice hiring H+R. Everything was made clear and great communication.The surveyor was very helpful, and was available to talk to whenever I called. Survey was thorough, and I feel confident going into the purchase our property. Highly recommended!

The report was extremely detailed and well set out with excellent photographs, which is very helpful for someone who is not an expert in the subject. The survey was conducted in a very professional and friendly way and Matt has been very generous with his time in talking it through and identifying priorities. The report is really helpful in allowing me to plan repairs. I would have no hesitation in recommending Hutton + Rostron to anyone looking for a similar survey.
