Revitalising a Historic Property in the Heart of Warwickshire
Faced with significant structural challenges, the owners of Leasow Farm in Whichford, Shipston-on-Stour, sought ASRS’s expertise for an extensive restoration project. Recognised for our proficiency in large-scale masonry repairs, we were well-equipped to address the complexities of this historic rural estate.
The Challenge:
Leasow Farm, a sprawling agricultural property with multiple buildings, was grappling with extensive cracking and structural instability across 17 distinct areas. The scope of the project was vast, encompassing Areas A through L, the Dairy Building, Dividing Walls, and various elevations. Each zone presented unique challenges, necessitating a tailored approach to ensure comprehensive structural reinforcement.
