At Mava Living, we understand that maintaining and preserving buildings requires expertise, responsiveness and attention to detail. With years of experience managing historic buildings and working with specialists in delivering refurbishment, repair and restoration projects, we provide clients with trusted advice, exceptional workmanship and long-term value across a wide range of residential and heritage properties.
Our Work at Bitterne Manor House
A notable example of our work can be seen at Bitterne Manor House in Southampton, Hampshire, a distinguished listed building that was refurbished and renovated by the renowned architect Herbert Collins. This significant heritage asset demands a specialist approach to ensure its historic character is preserved while meeting modern performance standards.
Our works at Bitterne Manor House have included extensive roof repairs, parapet restoration, window refurbishment and a variety of external fabric repairs. Each element has been carefully planned and executed to protect the building’s architectural significance while extending its lifespan for future generations.
Refurbishing Communal and Shared Areas
At Mava Living, as part of our management services we can also oversee the refurbishment of communal and shared areas, restoring and enhancing entrance halls, staircases and other common parts. These projects can range from sympathetic redecoration schemes through to more comprehensive refurbishment programmes involving repairs, upgrades and accessibility improvements. Our approach balances the retention of original architectural features with the practical requirements of modern building standards.

Balancing Heritage with Modern Standards
Historic and listed building projects often present unique challenges and opportunities. Alongside essential repairs and maintenance, clients may choose to incorporate modernisation, and compliance works that improve building performance, accessibility and safety. Mava Living has the experience and technical expertise to deliver these complex projects while respecting the character, heritage and design intent of the original building.
We are keen to ensure that our management ensures that important historic buildings used for residential purposes continue to be enjoyed and appreciated for generations to come.
