Why us

Why people choose us

  • 01

    We know old homes

    Old and character homes move differently, hold moisture differently and need different materials from new builds.

  • 02

    We handle approvals

    We prepare council and heritage applications, submit them for you and deal with council.

  • 03

    We do old and new work

    You do not have to find one builder for the heritage front and another for the new work.

  • 04

    We use the right methods

    Modern work can block airflow under an old house, trap moisture under the floorboards and bring termites. The wrong render, plaster or fixing compound can damage old walls.

What we do

Need help with an old or character home?

Our reviews

Hear What Our Clients Have To Say About Their Newly Renovated Homes

  • Ben and his team at Adelaide Heritage Renovations just completed a wonderful restoration of the ceiling and walls in the master bedroom of our 100 year old Beulah Park cottage. Two weeks ago the cornice fell off our old ceiling and the ceiling threatened to follow it. Everybody working for Ben was skilled, professional and friendly and we are extremely happy with the outcome. We will definitely be using them again.

    Michael Murray

  • Ben and his team recently replaced double garage ceiling and they have done an excellent job. Very impressed with their professionalism and efficiency. Workers were all friendly and polite. They arrived on time and completed the work one day earlier than anticipated. On completion the garage was cleaned thoroughly. Definitely recommend this company.

    Bernie Gibbons

  • We recently had our lounge diner, kitchen, utility room and bathroom fully renovated by Ben and his team, and we honestly couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for our home were outstanding. Ben and his team were meticulous in every aspect of their work. Nothing was rushed, and every finish – from the tiling and cabinetry to the lighting and final touches – was completed to an exceptionally high standard. Their eye for detail truly shows in the finished spaces, which not only look beautiful but feel thoughtfully designed and expertly crafted. What really set them apart, though, was their friendliness and consideration throughout the project. They were always punctual, respectful of our home, and kept everything as clean and tidy as possible during the renovation. They communicated clearly at every stage, listened to our ideas, and offered helpful suggestions to ensure the best possible outcome. It’s rare to find a team that combines such skill, reliability, and genuine courtesy. We felt completely confident in their hands from day one. We would highly recommend Ben and his team to anyone considering a renovation – you won’t be disappointed

    Ian Smith

  • Couldn’t speak more highly about this company. Friendly, professional and top draw throughout. We had to have our al fresco dining ceiling completely replaced and colour matched with new spot lights and speakers to go back in. Also installed our new fans to complete the job. Highly recommend Ben, and the team and will definitely have them back to do other work we need doing. Nice to find blokes you can trust to do a quality finish!

    James Stockton

  • We recently engaged Adelaide Heritage Renovations for a shed conversion and couldn’t be happier with the result. The team on site was friendly, professional, and showed an exceptional level of attention to detail throughout the entire build. What really stood out was the quality of construction and the thought that went into elements of the project that I hadn’t even considered, not being from the building industry myself. Their experience and guidance made a real difference. The finished product is of a very high standard, and the overall conversion has exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend Adelaide Heritage Renovations to anyone considering a similar project.

    Andrew G

  • Adelaide Heritage Renovations did next door’s renovations and I was impressed so I had them come and build my deck and landscape my backyard. So very happy with everything from design to build, the team handled everything so I did not need to do anything at all!

    Suzy

  • Ben and the team were brilliant in responding quickly to an urgent repair I needed for a bathroom. They also completed the hanging of new light fittings and painting of the living room and kitchen. Their attention to detail and quality of work was exceptional. Highly recommend.

    Kathy

  • Great guys, did an exceptional job and we were extremely happy with all aspects of the build. Highly recommended Ben and his team.

    Lynne Hammond

  • Came recommended and didn't disappoint. Ben and the team did a fantastic job on a full gut and refit of our two-storey. A huge job, done well and finished to a high standard. Thanks for bringing our vision to life, guys. Highly recommend Adelaide Heritage Renovations.

    Rowena Holloway

  • Highly recommended: my home of 43 years a CBD terrace was restored and maintained efficiently and to a high standard. Ben on time ..on budget and always available .

    Phillip Swann

  • I recently used the team at Adelaide Heritage Renovations for some work at home, a 100 + year old symmetrical villa. They were outstanding, not only with their knowledge on how to get the best result, but also how they treated the place whilst working these was amazing. Cleaned up after and were incredibly courteous. I would recommend these guys for all your home renovation work.

    Luke Richards

  • Fantastic company to go through. Ben and the team are amazing, great at what they do and excellent communication. Highly recommend Adelaide Heritage Renovations.

    Rachel Hartwell

  • Highly recommend these guys, super professional excellent work, love the new shed!

    Josh Phillips

  • Far exceeded my expectations. The teams ability to resolve challenges along the way made the whole process easy and stress less

    Maria Vlassis

  • Ben and the team were fantastic in coming in to fix up the mother's unit for sale including replacing sections of ceiling, repairing cracks and preparing surfaces, cornice work, some electrical and then painting throughout. They made the job easy to understand and made it clear what to expect and offered great advice from the outset. They did a great job in really good time and without any hassle, which was exactly what we were after.

    C.S.

  • Ben was excellent from start to finish. When he first came for a quote, he was very insightful and provided us with lots of guidance. Then, when it came to the renovation, his team were polite, neat, and did an amazing job. Couldn't recommend more!

FAQ

Common questions

Do you work on heritage-listed homes?

Yes. We work on heritage-listed homes and character homes. A character home is an older home with features worth keeping, such as stone, double brick, timber detail or a verandah. A heritage-listed home has legal controls, so approvals are usually more formal.

Do you deal with council and heritage approvals?

Yes. We prepare council and heritage applications, submit them for you and deal with council. You do not have to learn the approval process.

Can I stay in my home during the work?

Sometimes, depending on the job. If you are staying, we make the site safe at the end of each day and seal the work area from the rest of the home.

How much will it cost?

Every home is different, so we give you a free quote based on what you want to do. No fixed prices, no surprises.

How long does it take?

It depends on the size of the job, approvals, materials and access. We give you a clear timeline with your quote.

Who looks after my project?

One team looks after the job from the first call to handover. You will always know who to call.

What areas do you cover?

We work across Adelaide. If you are a bit further out, get in touch anyway and we will let you know.

Do you use staged payments?

Yes. You pay a deposit, then invoices are spread across the job as work progresses. You do not pay everything upfront.

Do you work with architects?

Yes. We work with architects, tender on architect-led projects and build from drawings when they are already organised.

What warranty and documents do I get?

You get a structural warranty, full council sign-off and every stamped compliance document for the job. Flooring has a twelve-month warranty.
