Meet the incredible variety of experts behind the work going on at 2-4 Market Place Caistor

In this mini blog series, meet the teams working behind the scenes to bring 2-4 Market Place to life. Heritage and conservation experts, from our contractors to project managers and everyone in between, these are the people behind the project…

Messenger BCR is one of the UK’s leading heritage and conservation specialists. With decades of experience working on some of the country’s most iconic historic sites, we bring expert craftsmanship, technical knowledge, and a deep respect for the past to every project. From cathedrals and castles to local landmarks – including Lincolnshire’s Medieval Bishop’s Palace, Belton House, Burghley Walled Garden, Wallcott Hall, and Spilsby Sessions House –  we’re trusted by clients across the public and private sectors to deliver complex conservation works to the highest standards.

Why

We were selected as the main contractor for this project due to our heritage expertise and proven track record of delivering sensitive restorations. At 2–4 Market Place, we are working carefully to stabilise, repair, and reimagine a building that has stood at the centre of Caistor for centuries. Our team understands the value of these spaces to their communities – and we’re proud to help secure their future.

 

The project

Our role is to bring the building back into safe and usable condition, using traditional materials and methods wherever appropriate. We’re not just repairing a structure – we’re preserving its story while making it fit for future generations. As works progress, we are excited to see this transformation take shape and to play our part in revitalising this corner of Caistor’s heritage.
