Barn Conversions and Refurbishments

At EVLV, we specialise in high-quality barn conversions and refurbishments across Warwickshire and the Cotswolds. With over 20 years of experience in roofing, carpentry, and structural work, we bring the expertise needed to sensitively transform unused or ageing agricultural buildings into modern, character-filled homes and functional spaces.

Barn conversions are unique projects that require a thoughtful approach. These buildings often feature original timber frames, stone or brick walls, and historic details that need to be preserved and enhanced rather than removed. At EVLV, we understand how to work with these elements, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern building standards to create homes that are both beautiful and built to last.

Our team is involved from the structural core outwards. We handle all aspects of roofing, timber framing, internal carpentry, and weatherproofing. Whether the barn is being converted into a single dwelling, guest accommodation, or a workspace, we can adapt to the needs of the project while staying true to the building’s original character.

Every conversion starts with a detailed site visit and consultation. We take the time to understand your goals, assess the structural condition of the building, and offer practical, creative solutions to make the most of the space. We can also advise on planning permissions, listed building considerations, and the use of sustainable materials where appropriate.

Roofing is a key part of most barn conversions. Many older barns have failing or incomplete roof structures, and we are experienced in both rebuilding and restoring these frameworks. We work with slate, tile, and traditional stone roofing, as well as modern insulated systems that meet current energy standards. Roof windows, lanterns, and other features can also be added to increase light and improve the layout.

Inside the building, we carry out all major timber construction and carpentry. This may include new floor joists, internal studwork, staircases, oak beams, or hand-built fittings. Our work respects the proportions and quirks of older buildings, while delivering modern function and comfort.

If your project includes refurbishing a barn that has already been converted, we can carry out a full review and update outdated elements. This might include replacing roof coverings, strengthening timber structures, repairing masonry, or improving insulation and ventilation.

We are also happy to work in collaboration with architects, structural engineers, and other trades. Our goal is always to contribute high-quality craftsmanship and efficient, reliable service to ensure the wider project runs smoothly.

At EVLV, we are passionate about restoring old buildings in a way that protects their heritage while bringing them into the modern age. From major structural work to the finer finishing touches, we treat each project with care, precision, and pride.
