Antony Gibb Historic Buildings Consultants help people understand, enjoy and use their architectural heritage. We work for public, private and professional clients, often as part of multi-disciplinary teams. We provide services covering heritage consultancy, building surveys, architecture, interior design and design review.

I have surveyed thousands of Listed Buildings of every type and age, throughout England and Wales. I also lecture regularly on building surveying, architectural history and building conservation topics to professional groups, Universities as an External Lecturer and also to the general public on cruise ships worldwide and U3A. I have also done TV and radio work.

I was Chair of the RICS Building Conservation Steering Group for six years, from 2017 to 2023, and I am the lead author of the 2nd Edition of the RICS Professional Standard on ‘Conservation of Heritage Buildings and Assets’.

I am lucky enough to combine my passion with my professional work – my love of historic buildings has taken me all over the world and has driven a lifetime of learning. Whether it’s investigating beetle damage in a historic timber-frame or discovering the secrets of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, there’s always something new to find.
