Our built heritage bears witness to centuries of human skill and ingenuity and today we have the challenge of keeping the skills alive so that we can continue to conserve and maintain our vast range of historic properties by using the relevant traditional craft skills and working sympathetically with the original materials. We need more people to become skilled in these crafts and help us to preserve our historic buildings so that future generations can live, work and play in them.
There are ten main specialist skills that are most likely to be used on historic building work and further specialisms within each craft. Click on each link on the right, to find out about the origin of the craft and where and when the material was used in the UK.
To find out more, download (PDF, 1.2MB) the NHTG Careers in Conservation and Restoration Brochure which contains information and guidance for careers both in the craft skills and for built heritage professionals.
