Parker & Son is very proud to work with the National Trust carrying out conservation work on a number of their historical buildings across the south east.

Our work has included Bodiam Castle near Robertsbridge, Bateman’s at Burwash, Sheffield Park Gardens near East Grinstead and Chartwells.

This has included installing new ticket offices and shops along with refurbishment work. Most of the properties we have worked on have either been listed or of great archaeological interest. We are a trusted contractor and certified under the Construction Line scheme to meet the National Trust’s standards of assurance.

James Parker and his team have been a joy to have on-site. They are a positive, thoughtful and respectful team who have gone out of their way to find solutions and offer suggestions. We feel we made the right decision in choosing them and couldn't recommend them highly enough.
