Chester Masonry Construction Ltd - Group Overview
Specialist Building Contractors Accredited in Historic Building Conservation
Chester Masonry Group was established in 1979 by brothers Hugh and Geoff Moore. The group has expanded significantly over the past quarter century and employs almost seventy staff, but is still very much a family business. Both Hugh & Geoff's two sons and two daughters have joined the company.

Today, Chester Masonry Construction Ltd ranks amongst the UK's most respected historic building conservation and restoration specialist contractors. We have worked on hundreds of listed buildings, churches and monuments across the UK for clients including English Heritage, Cadw, The National Trust, The Church of England & Wales and countless other specialist interest groups and building trusts.

Acting as Principal Contractor, conservation-restoration work is at the forefront of the Group's activities - indeed it is our principal activity. Although we are now a limited company, the concept and principals of the Group are still our guiding light.

Over and above our main area of work, we offer a full design and build service for new buildings, interiors and refurbishment. We also carry out consultancy work and offer reports and technical advice.

The Group of Companies
Our Group now consists of a number of companies in their own right:
CMC Masonry Profiling - 24-hour production facility
CMC Project Safety Ltd - Planning Supervision and Safety Consultants
Linley Stained Glass Studios - Conservation, Restoration & Commissions
Heritage Guards - Stainless Steel Window Guards for Ecclesiastical Buildings
JKA Productions - Conservation-aware IT & Internet Solutions

The Conservators Approach
The Group consists of seventy craftsmen and women, all of whom are individual specialist conservators-restorers, covering all the main areas of building conservation and repair. The unique set up thus allows us to accept contracts for work over a wide range of specialist building projects.

This holistic approach to building works is one that we believe to be essential. Bringing skills together in such a way ensures that our approach to conservation work is always well informed - guided by expertise, experience and a solid base of skilled craftsmen.

Skills
Our most valuable resources are our craftsmen, all of whom possess traditional skills - skills that are becoming more and more rare. As a company, we are committed to addressing this issue through promoting apprenticeships, CPD, sponsored vocational training and academic higher education, with the aim of developing a solid understanding of conservation and restoration work throughout our staff.
