DBR has been granted a Royal Warrant in recognition of its longstanding provision of historic building conservation services to the Royal Household.

DBR is among the first royal warrant holders announced by King Charles III and Queen Camilla. To qualify, companies must have provided regular, direct, and high-quality services to the Royal Household for at least five years while also meeting sustainability standards.

DBR’s team of craftspeople and project managers have worked on some of the UK’s most significant heritage sites, including Buckingham Palace and the restoration of the Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben).

As a Royal Warrant holder, DBR has the right to display the Royal Arms, symbolising its commitment to the highest standards of historic building conservation.

DBR’s executive director Adrian Attwood said: “Receiving this Royal Warrant is more than an honour; it's a testament to the unwavering dedication, craftsmanship, and expertise of our entire team. We take immense pride in our role in preserving the UK’s built heritage – whether for the Royal Household, the Palace of Westminster, Blenheim Palace or any of the historic buildings we are privileged to work on. This recognition reinforces our commitment to excellence and our mission to protect and restore the nation’s landmark assets for future generations to cherish and enjoy."

Hundreds of companies hold Royal Warrants, from saddlers to vintners, from scaffolders to painters & decorators. JCB, Breedon, Howden, Huws Gray and John Deere are among the more well-known warrant holders from the construction industry.
