We, Leslie Cornell Building Restoration Ltd, not only get to travel to some beautiful locations in Cornwall but feel immense pride in restoring and preserving some of Cornwall’s historic-built environment. We are truly privileged to be able to restore these wonderful historic buildings, most of which were constructed 100’s of year ago, so many future generations can enjoy them.
Not all of the historic building restoration projects we undertake are Listed, but those that are really do deserve their status.
We are extremely proud of all the works we undertake and wanted to share some highlights with you from the last 12 months.
