Our story

Legacy, craftmanship, innovation

A history of excellence

For over 45 years, P J Livesey have specialised in restoring and developing historic buildings. Since 1979, we’ve earned a reputation for transforming notable period properties such as High Lawn, Bostock Hall, Wyfold Court, Ingress Abbey and Hill Hall.

Our focus is on creating thoughtfully designed residential schemes that give historic buildings a sustainable future. Every project is individually planned, and we work closely with owners, local authorities and communities to achieve the best outcomes.

Partnerships with conservation bodies, local authorities and major housebuilders have been central to our success. From the outset, we have combined design, construction and interior planning in one integrated approach, which continues to shape our work today.

As we have grown, we’ve introduced new-build homes alongside our restoration projects, while maintaining the same design principles that define the P J Livesey Group.

Environmental

At PJ Livesey, sustainability is about more than reducing carbon emissions. We believe in preserving the past while creating homes for the future. By restoring historic and listed buildings, regenerating brownfield sites and embracing modern construction methods, we create exceptional places to live while minimising our environmental impact.

Our developments are designed with longevity in mind.

Through thoughtful landscaping, biodiversity enhancements and energy-efficient technologies, we create homes and communities that benefit both residents and the environment. From solar PV and EV charging to enhanced insulation, triple glazing and water-saving measures, innovation helps us reduce energy consumption, lower running costs and build homes that are comfortable, efficient and built to last.

Restoration & Regeneration

Our approach of restoring historic, listed buildings and transforming brownfield sites into thriving new communities, preserves architectural heritage, important landmarks, reduces the need for greenfield development and creates lasting environmental and social value.

Energy Efficient Homes

Combining renewable technologies and high performance building materials, including solar panels, EV charging, enhanced insulation, triple glazing, A-rated appliances and water saving technology, we create homes that reduce carbon emissions and conserve natural resources.

Landscaping & Biodiversity

We use sustainable construction practices and quality materials alongside thoughtful landscaping, planting and biodiversity enhancements to reduce environmental impact, encourage wildlife and create greener, healthier places for people to live.

Heritage & awards

A clear philosophy has emerged within the P J Livesey Group that influences the approach to every development. True excellence can only be achieved by specialisation.

Our passion for restoration has meant that a vast bank of expertise has been amassed within the specialist teams of the Group.

In recreating the grandeur of the past there is nothing more valuable than this knowledge.

We have risen to the challenge of creating living spaces that combine a genuine love of our architectural heritage with the practicality of a newly built home.

Over the past 40 years we have won many awards for the design, quality and commitment that underpins every development we undertake.

Social Value

At PJ Livesey, we believe our responsibility extends beyond the developments we create. We’re committed to making a positive and lasting contribution to the communities in which we work by investing in people, supporting local initiatives and sharing our knowledge and expertise. Whether through education, fundraising or community partnerships, we’re proud to help create opportunities that leave a lasting legacy.

We also created The Ralph Brocklehurst Fund in memory of a much loved member of our team. The fund supports and enhances green spaces, helping to create places for communities to enjoy while keeping Ralph’s spirit and love of the outdoors alive.

We support local charities, community groups and grassroots sports clubs through sponsorships, partnerships and fundraising initiatives, helping organisations that make a meaningful difference where we live and work.

Giving Back

Our teams are passionate about making a difference, taking part in fundraising events, volunteering and community initiatives that have raised thousands of pounds for charitable causes while strengthening relationships within our local communities.

Team & Partnerships

Great results are built on strong relationships. We believe in working closely with our colleagues, clients, suppliers and trusted partners to achieve the best outcomes. By sharing knowledge, supporting one another and building long term partnerships, we create an environment where everyone can succeed.

Beyond our day to day work, we enjoy coming together as a team to support local charities, take part in fundraising events and get involved in community initiatives. These experiences strengthen our team, reinforce our values, and reflect our commitment to making a positive impact both within our industry and in the wider community.
