Our built heritage – the 6million or so UK pre-1919 buildings – is a vital and vibrant part of the built environment. Understanding and caring for this important inheritance requires professionals and craftspeople well versed in traditional building methods and materials and with a sound knowledge of the approach to and techniques of conservation, repair, maintenance and restoration.
