Heritage, Flint, Stone & Conservation Building Specialists

Preserving the Character of Historic Buildings.

We Are RAM Construction logo

At RAM Construction, we understand that historic and heritage buildings require a different approach to modern construction. Every project demands specialist knowledge, traditional craftsmanship, and a respect for the building's history, character, and original fabric.

Our experienced team delivers high-quality heritage, flint, stone, and conservation works across Sussex, Kent, and the South East, helping property owners, churches, estates, local authorities, managing agents and commercial clients protect and preserve buildings for future generations.

Whether restoring a listed property, repairing traditional stonework, rebuilding flint walls, or undertaking sympathetic alterations to a period building, we combine proven traditional methods with modern standards of safety, compliance, and project management.

Flint Work Specialists

Flint is one of Sussex's most distinctive traditional building materials and requires specialist craftsmanship to repair and restore correctly.

  • Knapped Flint Walling
  • Random Flint Repairs
  • Flint Rebuilding and Restoration
  • Flint Boundary Walls
  • Flint Facade Repairs
  • Flint Panel Replacement

  • New Flint Construction to Match Existing Buildings

Our skilled craftsmen carefully source, shape and lay flint to match the original appearance and character of the structure.

Traditional Stonework

Natural stone buildings require specialist attention to maintain their appearance and structural integrity.

We undertake:

  • Stone Wall Repairs

Where replacement materials are required, we seek to source compatible stone to ensure repairs remain visually and structurally sympathetic to the building.

Lime Mortar & Traditional Materials

Many older buildings were designed to breathe naturally. Modern cement-based materials can often cause long-term damage when used incorrectly on historic structures.

Our teams are experienced in the use of:

  • Lime Mortars

  • Traditional Masonry Repairs
  • Breathable Wall Systems
  • Historic Building Maintenance Techniques

Using appropriate materials helps prevent moisture retention, cracking, and deterioration while preserving the building's original performance.

We regularly support clients with:

  • Heritage Refurbishments
  • Conservation Area Projects
