The Building Conservation Directory
The Building Conservation Directory provides specifiers of works to historic buildings, their contents and
surroundings a starting point in the search for appropriate products and services and expert advice.
Approximately 1,000 different companies and organisations are represented in this edition.
The many technical editorial articles are written by leaders in this field and cover a wide range of
important issues. The articles are not intended to be comprehensive but rather to raise awareness and
stimulate dialogue amongst those involved with old buildings. Other reference information points the
way on current legislation, continuing education and sources for further information and advice.
HOW TO FIND WHAT YOU NEED
1 The table of contents on page 4 together with the products and services index and the specialists
index at the back should help you find the product, service or supplier you are looking for.
Products/Services Selector tables, listing suppliers and their products and services head up each
main section.
2 Follow the index or Selector table page reference to the appropriate section or company and
start the specification process. It may be helpful to contact more than one supplier. And please
remember to tell each that you found them in The Building Conservation Directory .
3 If you still can’t find what or who you need, don’t despair. You can visit our industry leading
website at or ring us on 01747 871717 and we’ll try to put you in
touch with a supplier who can help.
All suppliers in the Directory pay a fee to be included and although Cathedral Communications does
not formally approve or recommend them we do screen out inappropriate suppliers and products to
maintain the established integrity of the Directory. This ensures that it remains a useful and credible
forum in which appropriate suppliers can promote their businesses. Directory users should seek more
detailed information and advice from suppliers before undertaking any sensitive project.
We are always looking for ideas to improve the Directory so please write to let us know if you have
any suggestions for improvements to its content or presentation which will help you in your work
with old buildings. And don’t forget, our website at is the primary
internet gateway to the building conservation and restoration industry and offers loads of supplier
and technical information. You’ll also find the Directory in its entirety on the website as a flipping-page
digital book, one more way to access the useful information it contains. Please see page 195 of this
edition for more information on the website, or why not click in to have a look for yourself?
