The Building Restoration Index is a free reference directory of trades, specialists and suppliers who work on historic, listed, period and traditional buildings across the UK. It is maintained by Tuscan Foundry Products, a supplier of cast iron rainwater systems to the conservation sector since 1893, as a practical starting point for anyone planning repairs or restoration.
It is intended for building owners, architects, surveyors, conservation officers, contractors and restoration professionals. Entries cover the building fabric – masonry, lime, timber, roofing and rainwater goods – as well as windows and joinery, interiors, materials suppliers, professional services and heritage organisations.
Each entry gives a short description, the services or products offered, a base location and a link to the business’s own website. Please check suitability, availability, credentials and project requirements directly with each business before appointing them; the Index is a guide to who does what, not a substitute for your own enquiries.
Technical Library: thirteen free conservation guides written for this Index – ironwork, rainwater goods, consent, windows, plaster, timber, brick, roofs, damp, surveys, specification and stone – each ending with the categories to search for a specialist.

Read each business’s own website for its current services, coverage area and examples of work – the Index gives a summary only.
If your building is listed or in a conservation area, check what consent is needed with your local planning authority or conservation officer before work starts. Like-for-like repair often needs no consent; changes of material or design usually do.
Obtain project-specific advice and written quotations directly from the businesses you shortlist.
The Index is compiled and maintained by Tuscan Foundry Products. Businesses are included because they offer services or products relevant to historic and traditional buildings. There is no charge for inclusion and no ranking within categories; listings are shown alphabetically. If you would like to suggest a business or correct an entry, contact us at info@tuscanfoundry.com.
Directory information is provided to help visitors identify potentially relevant specialists and suppliers. Inclusion does not constitute a recommendation, approval or guarantee by Tuscan Foundry Products. Please check current services, credentials, availability and suitability directly with each business.
