Magenta Building Repair Ltd

About Magenta

Before and After - St Martin's Church, Salisbury, Wiltshire.

Magenta Building Repair was formed in 1995 to undertake the repair and conservation of historic buildings. The company is based in Dorset and Cornwall and has worked extensively on projects for English Heritage, The National Trust, CADW and The Churches Conservation Trust

Finial at the top of a pinnacle of St. Bartholomew's Church, Sutton Waldron, Dorset.

Magenta Building Repair Limited’s aim is to provide a complete package including fine carving, mortar repair and all allied building trades using traditional materials. The use of lime mortars, render and haired - plasters is not only historically correct but essential when repairing an old building in order to maintain its structural integrity.

Church of St Mary and St Nicholas, Wilton, Wiltshire.

Magenta Building Repair Limited is also experienced in building conservation and new work and can provide services in flintwork, cob, gauged brickwork, carpentry and oakwork, lead and copperwork, traditional roofing and grouting. This means that we can effect part or complete contracts using specialized building practices and related skills to both old and new buildings. Repair works and surveys can be carried out in-house by our qualified rope access technicians.

Highcliff Castle, Christchurch, Hampshire.

All dimensional stonework, ironwork, stainless steel, one-off fixings plus some items of joinery are created in our workshops in Milton Abbas or on site by our own staff. This ‘in-house’ approach, in conjunction with the inclusion of specialist sub-contractors (with whom we have worked on many occasions before), ensures that the interpretation of the design and practical application of the works, including the, often, ever-changing requirements encountered during a project can be managed and overcome.

The purpose of this website is to gather together an archive of Magenta Building Repair Limited’s work, of which we are very proud. By digitizing all the records, images and data we have, we hope to provide a historical record, accessible to all, of the work carried out to some of the most beautiful buildings in England. We employ only the highest quality craftsmen and this site is also a way of showing our appreciation of them by displaying some of the fantastic work they have carried out for Magenta.
