Logan’s ARCH provides heritage, conservation and research-led services for historic and architecturally significant buildings on the Isle of Man.
Services are tailored to the needs of each building and project stage — from early assessment and research through to detailed recording and specialist heritage outputs.
Heritage Assessments & Planning Support
Heritage assessments and planning support for historic and sensitive buildings, helping clients understand significance, constraints and opportunities at an early stage, and supporting informed decision-making before proposals are developed.
Historic Building Recording (Levels 1–4)
Historic building recording in line with recognised UK best-practice standards, including visual description, photographic survey and analytical interpretation to support conservation, planning and heritage requirements.
Historic Materials & Fabric Analysis
Assessment, sampling and interpretation of historic materials such as mortar, brick, stone, plaster & roof tiles, including co-ordinating dendrochronology (timber dating) providing evidence-based insight to inform appropriate conservation, repair and specification decisions.
Coving, Cornice & Moulding Replication & Creation
Measured recording, profile analysis and replication of historic coving, cornices and decorative mouldings, supporting accurate repair, reinstatement and the design of sympathetic new work.
Digital Plans & Application Documentation
Preparation of clear, accurate plans and supporting documentation for planning, conservation and change-of-use applications, ensuring heritage information is clearly presented and appropriately evidenced.
Research & Architectural History
Archival research and architectural history to support understanding of historic buildings and their development. This includes Heritage Pre-Acquisition Assessments (“Before You Buy”), offering early insight into significance, constraints and future implications.
Please note: All historic building reports and interpretations produced by Logan’s ARCH are archaeological in nature. They are not structural, engineering or design assessments and should be used alongside the advice of qualified architects and structural engineers. Our findings represent the best interpretation of the surviving evidence.
