The Centre for Building Conservation Studies (CBCS) is a UK-based institution dedicated to advancing the field of building conservation through comprehensive education and hands-on training. Established in 2019, CBCS aims to become a central hub for learning and discovery in building surveying and conservation. Their mission is to make conservation accessible to everyone by offering specialised courses and training sessions led by established experts, emphasizing practical experience and the application of the latest conservation philosophies and technologies.
CBCS offers a diverse range of courses tailored to various experience levels, from undergraduates and homeowners to industry professionals. Their programs include informative Continuing Professional Development (CPD) sessions and Level 6 Diplomas in Building Surveying and Building Conservation. These diplomas are designed to provide participants with the skills necessary to conduct surveys of residential, commercial, ecclesiastical, and industrial buildings, as well as to work in property development, heritage sectors, and construction projects. The curriculum covers a wide range of building ages, types, uses, and conditions, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the field.
A distinctive feature of CBCS's programs is the inclusion of practical experience through site visits and hands-on tasks. Participants attend the Building Conservation Summer School and engage in international study trips to explore historic sites and contemporary conservation challenges. For instance, in 2025, the Building Surveying Diploma includes a trip to Copenhagen, while the Building Conservation Diploma offers a visit to Bucharest. These experiences are designed to provide real-world insights into the complexities of building conservation on a global scale.
CBCS is also developing a dedicated learning center in a Grade II Listed Building in Gosport, Hampshire. This former Royal Navy property is being transformed into a vibrant community space for heritage skills training, arts, and culture. The facility will offer training in various traditional building skills, including roofing, lime work, carpentry, oak framing, stone masonry, and straw bale construction. This initiative underscores CBCS's commitment to preserving traditional craftsmanship and promoting sustainable conservation practices.
For building conservation professionals, homeowners, and enthusiasts, CBCS provides an invaluable resource for gaining practical skills, professional qualifications, and a deeper understanding of historic building conservation. Their flexible approach, combining online learning, classroom instruction, and practical site visits, ensures accessibility and affordability. By fostering a passion for conservation and offering hands-on experience, CBCS equips individuals with the knowledge and confidence to care for and preserve historic buildings effectively.

At Priory Heritage we are passionate about the preservation of historic buildings and believe in a future for all listed and historic buildings.
We support Historic England’s ‘Constructive Conservation’ approach to maintain our ancient buildings but on occasion allow them to change to develop alongside modern needs.
After carefully evaluating significance for each structure we ensure any changes are undertaken sensitively and with consideration for preserving the best of what has been created by previous generations. We believe alterations and repairs should always be done to the best of our ability and provided our work is of the best quality we should not be ashamed of the contribution our generation makes to the history of English Architecture.

My Shropshire based company is dedicated to the conservation of traditional brickwork in all its forms.
I undertake practical brickwork conservation projects, on a diverse range of traditional buildings and structures including small, rural vernacular cottages, boundary & garden walls, canal structures, Georgian and Victorian town houses - both listed and unlisted. My clients are sympathetic owners of traditional buildings, architects, building managers and conservation professionals who are passionate about their buildings.
They recognise the harm that inappropriate methods and modern materials such as cement mortars & renders have done, or can do, to traditional brick work and wish not only to retain the significance and character of their buildings but also to restore their functionality. Like me, they recognise the importance of an informed approach to the execution of repairs to traditional & historic buildings.

Philip Hughes Associates was founded in 1982 and is dedicated to the repair and conservation of historic buildings. The practice has grown gradually and employs both architects and surveyors with a partnership being formed from April 2019. The team is highly motivated and committed to providing clients with an individual service whilst striving for excellence in the care of historic buildings.
Work undertaken by the practice predominantly involves the analysis, maintenance, repair and conservation of historic buildings including the preparation of reports on the condition of buildings and investigation of specific defects. Projects regularly involve elements of new design - these are carefully managed to respect the historic setting and fabric of the existing building. The practice has a particular interest in sustainability, reuse and working with traditional materials to minimise environmental impact.
The philosophy of repair adopted by the practice is in line with the principles of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings. Every effort is made to retain and conserve historic fabric. Repairs are undertaken using traditional techniques, although modern conservation systems are not precluded.
The whole PHA team are deeply committed to the conservation of the historic environment. Two members of the practice are former SPAB scholars and four others have post graduate diplomas in conservation. Two members of the practice have previously worked for National Amenity Societies and all have membership of a range of societies and organisations related to historic building conservation, including voluntary roles for a number of societies and trusts.
Projects range from structural repairs of small agricultural buildings to highly specialist conservation work on large country houses and churches. Most projects involve preparation of condition reports, agreement of phased programmes of work, preparation of proposals (often including elements of new design), specification, tendering, contract administration and budgetary control.
Clients include The National Trust, English Heritage, The Churches Conservation Trust, Building Preservation Trusts, Councils and PCCs as well as many private clients.
