Contractors specialising in Conservation

There is currently no national body representing Building Contractors with whom there is an accreditation inBuilding Conservation skills. The best way to source a conservation specialist building contractor is to contact a local conservation architect or building surveyor specialising in conservation work, or ask the advice of the local Conservation Planning officer.

  • Federation of Master Builders – www.fmb.org.uk
