Barn Conversions

EBL Group has been concerned with barn conversions and old farm building conversions for many years and we have built up an excellent reputation for our dedication to quality of craftsmanship.

Over the 30 years that we have been involved with the repair, restoration and conversion of barns and listed buildings, we have learnt to understand the importance of ensuring sensitivity to the buildings character and history. EBL Group has the skilled workforce required in the restoration or conversion of barns. Creating a conversion that is sensitive to its history and character is a task that we take great pride in.

EBL gained the acclaimed “Builder of the Year” award from Cheshire’s Vale Royal Council for the creative conversion of an 18th Century barn development in Sutton Weaver into eight magnificent houses. Bob Wilson, our project director, was awarded “Highly Commended” in the Construction Manager of the Year Awards, organised by the Chartered Institute of Builders.

We will set up a meeting, to be appropriate with you, to discuss the requirements and practicability of your barn or farm building project. EBL Group is pleased to provide a full design and project manage service if you so wish, or if you have drawings with the necessary planning and building regulations already in situ, we can advise on any additional help you require to increase the appropriateness and impact of your existing drawings.

EBL is able to advise on the type of barn or farm building conversion that would meet your needs and steer you through the procedures. Creating a country retreat through a conversion gives the opportunity to develop a building that keeps the character of the barn and the pastoral charm of the area. Sensitive and careful planning can ensure that a stunning home can be shaped.

At EBL Group we have the people who have had specialist training at working on barn conversions and have the training for restoration work on barns and farm buildings. We have craftsmen skilled at replacing and restoring oak beams, stone roof slates, ornate lead work and knowledge of traditional building techniques.

We are able to use traditional techniques and where possible traditional materials to convert or restore your barn. At EBL we also have the craftsmanship to bring together modern technology without impairing the intrinsic character of the building. Our company offers services to help your barn renovation go through smoothly and efficiently.

EBL can help with the design, and our skilled and professional workforce can ensure that all aspects of the conversion are completed to the highest specifications. Other services that we put forward are contact with planning and conservation departments and officers, ability to balance building regulations laid down, as barns are frequently listed, and often at variance fire, sound and safety regulations.
We will help with offering ideas and new innovations and help with overcoming any problems that emerge in the project.

EBL Group aim to provide clients with a complete professional service that includes efficient project management, a high benchmark of craftsmanship and at the same time creating a superb home.
