Looking Forward to 2019

2019 brings a busy start to the year for Leslie Cornell Building Restoration Ltd. Our first project in January, acting as Principle Contractor, is to bring life back into a non-habitable Grade II Listed 17th Century dwelling in Cornwall.

As you can see from the picture above this will be quite an undertaking, but we are really looking forward to restoring this property back to its former glory.

We will bring you further updates on this Historic Building Restoration as the project progresses.

We would like to thank all of our Clients for giving us the opportunity to maintain their wonderful Historic buildings.

That’s it from us for 2018, so we would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
