About us

SFK Consulting is an Employee Owned firm of structural and civil engineers specialising in the repair and conservation of historic buildings, the design of structures in historic settings, and the protection of the historic environment.

We are passionate about our work and are privileged to have played a part in sustaining many historic estates in the UK.

All of our projects demand a careful and considered approach. We collaborate with other specialists and designers so that we can reach a thorough understanding of the constraints imposed on a project whether historical, technical or physical.

We supplement our experience with specific research ensuring our solutions are effective and reliable.

In this way, our knowledge and skills are continuously refreshed so that we bring, with confidence, creative solutions to the most complex of problems.

Our work is established through connection and curiosity—whether through the stories of the buildings, the people involved, or the craft required. Our values guide our decisions, shaping how we work and who we partner with. We are guardians of the built and natural environment, ensuring their stories live on through thoughtful, collaborative restoration.
