What this is

Home restoration is for old and character homes with parts worth keeping.

It can mean fixing cracked plaster, tired timber, worn verandahs, old ceilings, brickwork, windows or period detail.

We repair what is there, match what is missing, and keep the home looking like itself.

Sound familiar?

Cracks keep coming back?

We find the cause first, then repair the surface properly.

Old features are missing?

We match the shape, age and look so the new work does not stand out.

Not sure what can be changed?

We help with council and heritage approvals where they are needed.

Worried about modern repairs?

Old walls, floors and roofs need materials that let the house keep working.

  • Verandahs and balconies
  • Timber repairs
  • Brickwork and render
  • Windows and doors
  • Fireplaces and mantels

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.

    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!
