Are Barn Conversions Possible for a Listed Building?
If you are considering a conversion to a listed building we have the knowledge and expertise to help you manage this type of transformation to create a beautiful new space.
Listed buildings are subject to strict regulations which aim to preserve their historic structure and character both externally and internally. Therefore it is essential that you obtain listed building consent from your local council. Unauthorised works can result in you being fined.
We can offer advice on contacting your local authority to check if planning permission is required for your listed building. We can also help you appoint an architect for the design, and structural engineers to assess the stability of the existing building.
About the Barn Conversion Process
Whether you are a domestic customer who wishes to convert a barn into living accommodation or a commercial client looking to develop for office space, D J Hutchings & Sons Ltd are the people for you!
We will work with you from the outset, ensuring you are consulted throughout all stages of your barn conversion project.
When it comes to barn conversions, no two projects are the same. There are many aspects which differ depending on the state of the barn at the start of the project and the aspects required.
The process essentially follows these steps;
- Budget planning
- Architect design
- Planning permission obtained
- Services and contracts drawn up
- Warranties and insurance need to be obtained
- Project starts on site
- Structural repairs and fixes where required
- Make the structure weather tight
- Internal structure – adding new internal walls and windows
- Plumbing and electrics
- Plastering
- Decoration
We carry out all works to the highest of standards, with our project management team ensuring that the quality of the workmanship is maintained throughout and that all timescales are adhered to.

Our Case Studies
We’ve completed a range of projects across the commercial, private and public sector.
Renovation of an old car port into a modern studio
Category: Barn Conversions
The exposed timbers to the vaulted ceiling and brickwork walls were boarded over and skimmed with Velux windows being installed to make a light and airy space.
Externally treated timber studwork was installed between the existing oak posts of the car port with air dried oak shiplap boarding to finish and enclose the new space. We installed new drainage pipework connected to the client’s existing service in order to service the new shower room and kitchen.
