Welcome to Askins and Little Ltd.

Askins and Little are based in Cumbria and work throughout Northern England and Southern Scotland on the restoration, preservation and conservation of historic properties and listed buildings.

Since 2000 our team of time served craftsmen have developed Askins and Little into one of the leading restoration contractors in the area due to our work with English Heritage, Historic Scotland, The National Trust, architects, local authorities and private clients.
