Building conservation funding

Small grant repair scheme

Grants of up to £9,999 are considered for Minor Repair Projects, generally these may be managed by the applicant. However each project is different, and for some we may recommend you consult a proffessional advisor. 

Minor repairs are generally carried out to one element of a building that is in an otherwise good state of repair, for example:

  • Refurbishment of traditional sash and case windows, including draft proofing and external decoration.
  • Refurbishment or replacement of cast iron rainwater goods.
  • Minor repointing to external walls.

Major Repair Grants

Grants of between £10,000 and £24,999 are considered for Major Repair Projects and applicants are required to retain the services of a suitably qualified rofessional Advisor. 

Major repairs are generally carried out to one or more significant element of the building, e.g.:

  • Replacement roof coverings
  • Structural works to walls or chimneys
  • Major repointing or repairs to external walls

Other grants 

We also have small amounts of funding available to support building-related heritage projects, or projects which encourage the use of traditional materials and skills. Get in touch if you have any ideas.
