Period Property Restoration and Conservation
-
About usThe Building Conservation Network is a professional community of period property enthusiasts, crafts and trades people, building restoration and conservation companies, special interest groups, standards providers and much, much more. The Building Conservation Network welcomes individuals, businesses and organisations to register on the platform and begin using the many communication and marketing tools available to advertise their services and to link up with other professionals and businesses they may find of interest.
The principal aim of the Building Conservation Network is to foster and support the conservation and restoration of period property across the UK and beyond. We believe the best way to achieve this is through the creation of a community of professionals dedicated to making skilled building restoration, repair, and conservation available to the wider public. Individuals with projects or planning future work and interested in building conservation and restoration, can register and begin communicating directly with the many restoration and conservation businesses and organisations active on the platform. Registered users can create projects, set up groups, access company listings, read reviews, seek for guidance from other users and endorse listed companies.
Businesses and Organisations can create public profiles, list services, publicise projects, publish articles, broadcast announcements and communicate directly with a growing number of users. Through direct participation in the Building Conservation Network, businesses can help individuals, enthusiasts, home owners and businesses help preserve and protect old buildings from decay, demolition and damage.

The successful conservation and restoration of old buildings certainly requires great passion and commitment. It is also however vital that those taking on these projects have free and open access both to relevant information and to the expertise of professional craftspeople and companies. The Building Conservation Network aims to help make this possible.

Expert Resources & Information for Professionals
Being a building conservation and restoration professional does not mean that you have all of the answers. Our network allows members to broaden their knowledge base by seeking guidance and support from other professionals. We also provide information and regular updates on developments, trends and emerging issues in Building Conservation and Restoration. Our bank of information will keep our members updated on everything from changes in Buildings Regulations and Building and European Standards for Heritage and Conservation, Health & Safety Law, Sustainable Building and Design, and new materials and new design approaches to help enrich and complement the built historic environment. Membership in the Old House Network provides you with access to some of the best advisers in the building conservation sector.
Guidance for Users from Specialist Suppliers, Consultants and Craftspeople
For period property homeowners, enthusiasts, and those thinking about investing in old buildings, the first step can be the most daunting. Understanding how old buildings have been constructed and being familiar with the methods and materials originally used in their design, is vital to their maintenance and protection and to making the right choices when renovating or restoring them. Old buildings are a precious and finite resource and we must learn to care for and repair them first by understanding and respecting the science behind their design. The Building Conservation Network aims to help you access this information directly from the hundreds of Building Conservation and Heritage Professionals registered on this site. Our network allows members to create and search building conservation and restoration groups, publish calls for support, ask questions, enhance their knowledge base and secure their project's success. We aim to be the premier platform for anyone who works on or lives in old buildings.
Whether working on properties from early medieval times such as stone cottages or on Edwardian townhouses, our ability to keep them in good repair depends on the survival of traditional craft skills, employed using age-old materials. Let's help keep these skills and knowledge alive.
Protecting and Caring for Old Houses and Buildings
