Jeffrey Keays Associates (JKA) is a Midlands-based consultancy which draws on extensive experience in both England and Canada. With membership of the Institute of Historic Building Conservation, we are also on the Derbyshire Historic Buildings Crafts Register and approved consultant lists with several council conservation departments, and are being considered by the RICS for membership as Specialist Historic Building Surveyor. JKA is a fabric advisor to the Dioceses of Sheffield, Leicester, and Nottingham, where Jeffrey also sits on the Diocesan Advisory Committee for the Care of Churches. Jeffrey has been a regular studio tutor/critic and is currently a Year One Unit leader at the School of the Built Environment at the University of Nottingham.

With a strong belief in the sustainability of the built environment, we actively promote the repair and rehabilitation of historic and vernacular buildings. Wherever appropriate, contemporary design and planning are integrated into existing context to enrich the whole.

Our experience spans housing, residential, and public space design in addition to historic buildings work for small museums and private buildings. This is complemented by familiarity with conservation area and listed building practice resulting in a very high level of successful planning applications. Consultancy is provided to private clients, non-profit groups and local authority conservation departments.

A full spectrum of services is tailored to individual client briefs, with expertise suited to specific requirements. These range from specialist repair specifications to archival research, conservation plans, and full packages starting with feasibility and design through to completion of construction. Jeffrey Keays Associates provides a superior level of consultancy designed to implement successful projects.
