We undertake consultancy work in many areas of building conservation, on projects ranging from private cottages to historic palaces. We enjoy an international reputation for the analysis of historic mortars and can determine the constituents of any mortar, plaster or render. We hold a national aggregates library and an archive of more than 5000 historic mortars.

Rose of Jericho provides specialist consultancy services for the care, repair, and understanding of historic buildings. Our approach combines material science, building archaeology, and practical conservation experience to deliver clear, informed guidance at every stage of a project.

We advise on the condition, significance, and appropriate treatment of traditional structures, with particular expertise in lime-based materials, historic finishes, and breathable construction. This may include on-site assessments, defect diagnosis, specification writing, and guidance on repair methodologies—ensuring that interventions are both technically sound and sensitive to the building’s character.

Our consultancy often integrates closely with our analytical services, including mortar and paint analysis, allowing recommendations to be grounded in detailed evidence. By understanding how a building has been constructed and how it has evolved, we are able to propose solutions that respect its fabric while addressing current performance requirements.

We work with homeowners, architects, conservation professionals, and institutions, supporting a wide range of projects—from private dwellings to complex heritage assets. Our advice is particularly valuable where listed building consent or conservation best practice is a key consideration, providing a robust and defensible basis for decision-making.

By bridging analysis, specification, and on-site experience, Rose of Jericho delivers consultancy that is both practical and authoritative—helping to ensure that historic buildings are repaired, maintained, and understood in a way that secures their long-term future.
