Roger Mears Architects

Roger set up Roger Mears Architects in 1980, developing expertise in the field of repairs, alterations and extensions to historic buildings in domestic use. A particular interest in joinery repairs led to the publication of leaflets giving guidance on window repairs and historic glass. Roger has been a member of the committee (now a Guardian) of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) for 12 years and of the casework panel of the Georgian Group for 6 years. He is chair of the trustees of Adfer Ban a Chwm - revitalize hill and valley, a charity whose aim is to rebuild derelict farm houses as affordable homes for local families in rural Wales, and a trustee of Youth Experience in Sport, a charity providing opportunity through sport for young people.
