Major projects
Much of our work is more modest than the projects shown here!
Hayles & Howe Ltd projects cover the whole spectrum from consultancy and design to manufacture and installation. We cover all aspects of work; conservation, restoration, safety inspections, new build and small residential works. Projects are always under way in residential properties to restore original mouldings and ornamental ceilings, while in our offices consultation continues with clients on new designs great and small. Below are just some of the larger Hayles & Howe contracts and the awards won since 1988:
