Historic Building Experts in the Henley Area

South Oxfordshire and the Henley area has an extraordinary concentration of listed buildings, historic country houses, churches and traditional flint-built properties. These buildings require specialist care — the wrong materials or methods can cause irreversible damage.

MDJ Conservation has worked on properties across the Henley on Thames area, from estate boundary walls and historic bridges to listed farmhouses and church repairs. We understand the materials, the planning requirements and the craft required to do the work properly.

We are fully experienced with South Oxfordshire District Council listed building consent requirements and work closely with conservation officers to ensure every project meets the highest standards.

What We Do

Our Services in Henley & South Oxfordshire

Traditional skills for historic buildings across the area

Flint Wall Building & Repair

Specialist flint wall construction and repair using traditional lime mortar. We work with cobble flint, knapped flint and flint with brick banding — the characteristic local style found throughout the Chilterns and South Oxfordshire.

Listed Building Repairs

Sensitive repair and maintenance of listed buildings using approved traditional materials. We work within planning requirements and liaise with South Oxfordshire's conservation officers to ensure full compliance throughout.

Chimney Repair & Repointing

Full chimney stack repair, repointing and rebuilding using lime mortar. Particularly important for listed and period properties where the wrong mortar can cause significant long-term damage to the surrounding brickwork.

Lime Mortar Repointing

Specialist lime mortar repointing for brick, flint and stone buildings. We mix mortars to match the original material to maintain the authentic character of historic properties across the Henley area.

Historic Bridge & Estate Walls

Restoration and repair of historic estate boundary walls, bridges and garden structures. We have extensive experience working on country house estates and National Trust properties across Oxfordshire and Berkshire.

New Build in Traditional Style

New flint and brick construction built to match the local vernacular. We work with architects and developers to deliver traditional-style new builds that sit authentically within the South Oxfordshire landscape.
