Building Conservation

If you are taking on a restoration project, you will find this extensive website incredibly useful. It is packed with information, all handily accessible and which is kept up to date.

The site is divided into five main categories. Articles are written by leaders in their field and cover a number of subjects from Design in the Historic Environment to Flood Damage in Historic Buildings. The Bookshop, in association with Blackwells, lists a number of useful titles, including the indispensable The Building Conservation Directory, which is published by Cathedral Communications, the company behind this essential website.

Courses is a listing for undergraduates and postgraduates, as well as crafts training and miscellaneous courses. Events and Exhibitions is a current list of such events. You can email details of your own event with contact number/address, for which there is no charge.

The Directory is where the website comes into its own, listing over 1000 companies and organisations, useful websites and information on grant sources.
