Frequently Asked Questions

Properties that demonstrate historical, architectural, or cultural significance to the St. Ives community may be heritage listed. These include early Federation homes, mid-century dwellings, and notable public buildings. Checking the Ku-ring-gai Council heritage register is the first step to confirming your property’s status.

In most cases, yes. Even minor repairs on heritage-listed properties often require approval to ensure that the work respects the property’s character. We guide you through this process, handling applications and liaising directly with council officers to streamline the approvals.

Colour changes may require council approval, particularly if they significantly alter the property’s appearance. However, sympathetic colour updates that match the original palette are usually encouraged. We can help recommend colours that complement the era of your home while aligning with conservation requirements.

Unauthorised alterations to a heritage-listed building can lead to fines and orders to reverse the work. That’s why it’s crucial to work with a knowledgeable team from the beginning. We ensure all restoration work is fully compliant to protect both you and your property.

Yes, in some cases. Local councils and government bodies occasionally offer grants or funding assistance for the restoration of heritage-listed buildings. We can advise you on current grant opportunities that may help offset restoration costs for your St. Ives project.

Absolutely – sustainable upgrades such as insulation, solar energy systems, and water-saving devices can often be incorporated into heritage buildings. These additions must be planned carefully to ensure they do not detract from the property’s heritage features. We specialise in integrating modern sustainability measures discreetly and effectively.

Our team welcome any
challenge with a smile.
