Jones and Fraser Ltd

For almost a decade Jones & Fraser has been bringing together experienced management and in-house crafts people to successfully deliver projects from Scheduled Ancient Monuments to Places of Worship. Specialising in the conservation and restoration of period and listed properties, we take great satisfaction in using traditional building techniques and materials with passion and pride.
