Houses & buildings
We protect over 300 historic buildings. Our team works hard to ensure they are preserved for ever, for everyone using traditional conservation techniques.
A day in the life of a building surveyor
Plan a visit
With over 300 historic buildings in our care, from the grand and imposing to the small and quirky, you're spoilt for choice when planning a visit.
Creative restoration
Many buildings within our care are no longer fit for their original purpose and are not currently being used. This does not mean that these redundant buildings do not have a future....
Traditional skills
Keen to ensure traditional skills don't die out, we're encouraging our staff to learn and use traditional building methods wherever they can.

Our biggest conservation project
Restoration work being undertaken at Ightham Mote, Kent.
It's rare for a conservation project to take 15 years. Which is why the work we carried out at Ightham Mote in Kent is often called our biggest consservation project to date.
