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 www.buildingconservation.com 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.
