The Building Conservation Directory

The Building Conservation Directory

Cathedral Communications Limited first launched The Building Conservation Directory in 1993 to bring much needed information to owners of historic buildings and their consultants.

The Directory remains unique: it is still the only comprehensive source of information on products and services suitable for the conservation of historic buildings and their surroundings in the UK.

The current edition provides 212 pages of essential contacts for preservation, conservation and repairs, with details of over 1,000 relevant organisations, companies and individual craftsmen. Owners of historic buildings can find everything they need here, from suppliers of lime putty and horse hair to sources of information and advice, and from specialist structural engineers and historians to traditional timber frame builders.

Each edition also provides an excellent range of articles by leading specialists giving practical guidance on important issues.
