WHAT DO WE OFFER?
Conservation & Restoration
Here at Astrum Construction, we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of the refurbishment and restoration industry.
We offer all of our customers a unique building and refurbishment service. This works nicely with our building style, which combines our knowledge of traditional building techniques and more modern methods.
Conservation building differs significantly from regular construction. Conservation builders are experts in preserving the historical integrity of buildings. They’re especially skilled at working with listed properties that are rich in heritage and character (and subject to stringent building regulations). Unlike conventional builders who may focus purely on new materials and modern designs, conservation builders like Astrum Construction also respect the original structure, ensuring that any work carried out is sympathetic to its history. These projects often involve careful research, a deep understanding of architectural history, and the use of traditional materials and methods that reflect the building's original craftsmanship. This attention to detail helps maintain the authenticity and significance of the building.
Whether you have a traditional building in need of a full refurbishment or a more contemporary building which requires internal refurbishment, Astrum Construction has the expertise for the job.
The importance of conservation in construction cannot be overstated, particularly for listed buildings or properties situated in conservation areas. These structures are protected by law, and any restoration or modification must be completed with the utmost care to retain their original character. This is where conservation builders come into their own. With a focus on preserving the original features, our team understands how crucial it is to strike the perfect balance between restoration and maintaining the building’s historical identity. This requires not only skill but also respect for the materials used and the craftsmanship that went into the original construction.
Look no further for the best restoration builders in Bucks, Beds and Northants.
At Astrum Construction, we are proud to be highly skilled in traditional stone work techniques that date back centuries. Our mastery of these age-old methods allows us to restore buildings with precision and authenticity, ensuring that the original aesthetic is preserved while making necessary updates for modern living. By using locally sourced and sustainable materials, we ensure that our projects are not only in line with traditional building practices but also environmentally responsible. Our focus on sustainability is an integral part of our conservation efforts, as we believe in minimising the environmental impact of our work without compromising on quality.

Other Services
BARN CONVERSIONS
At Astrum we hold a wealth of experience in understanding all the planning conditions and constraints involved in the construction of barn conversions. We can assist with the whole construction process from planning & approval of your conversion and design right down to lighting controls and smart home solutions.
The positive of converting existing barn buildings is that they, like new builds, are largely exempt from VAT, which you are currently able to reclaim via HMRC Notice 431C. Also, the strict planning constraints involved in the building of new dwellings in the Countryside are timely and expensive to overcome. Recent changes in planning ‘Permitted Development (PD) rights introduced in early April 2014 have transformed the landscape for anyone wishing to undertake a barn conversion in England (not applicable to the rest of the United Kingdom as it currently stands).
Barn conversions are the perfect build for those wishing to embrace original design features and character while utilising living space. The beauty of a barn conversion is that they allow for generous room proportions and high ceilings.
STONE WORK
At Astrum one of the elements of construction that we specialise in is building/extending homes with natural stone, not just because of its inherent characteristics of quality and durability but also due to the fact that it lends itself perfectly to landscapes of rural locations.
Natural stone is a sustainable building material, the process of extracting natural stone from local quarries or reclaimed from nearby demolished buildings is far more ecological that the processes used to create standard building bricks.
Natural stone is:
- Highly durable
- Low maintenance
- Versatile
- Comes in many shapes and sizes
- Retains thermal mass
SELF BUILDS
We can work with you to create the perfect home from the planning stages through to interior design and smart home solutions. We can assist with the design, and work through complications that may arise to ensure you get the exact home you have always dreamed of. We can also provide labour only teams to larger construction projects if required.
We are constantly updating our skills & knowledge of the building industry, we use sustainable materials wherever possible lessening impact on the environment & making your home as energy efficient as possible. We also work with the latest technology in smart home solutions, lighting controls, and security systems.
