Find the right people for a historic building

Listed and older buildings need people who know traditional materials and methods: lime, timber frame, stone, leadwork, sash windows, and the professionals who design and manage work to them. The directory helps you find them near you.

Who is listed

Trades and contractors, professionals such as conservation architects and surveyors, and suppliers of traditional materials. Every listing shows the areas the business covers and what it specialises in.

There are two kinds of listing. Listed means the details come from public information about the business. Verified Provider means the business has claimed its profile and passed our checks, shown with the dates they were done. How we check.

A listing is not a recommendation or a guarantee of work. Ask for references, check insurance and get more than one quote, as you would for any building work.

Free for everyone

Searching is free, and so is listing and managing a profile. Businesses don't pay to appear or to rank higher.

Need consent before the work starts?

Most work to a listed building needs listed building consent, and the application needs a heritage statement. That is what Recept Heritage does. See heritage statements or book video advice.
