Conservation projects are a specialist area of Clear View Trading’s expertise. Our team is proficient in both the theory and practice on conserving buildings as well as having a deep understanding of the materials used in their restoration. We fully understand the site risks and the necessary approach for this type of work. In particular, the use of non-destructive inspection techniques can save time and avoid unnecessary damage through areas being opened up for inspection.

When working on historic buildings, we give particular consideration to:

• Becoming thoroughly familiar – during the pre-contract period – with relevant specialist techniques
• Assessing the operational fire risk – and taking all appropriate preventative steps
• Considering and preparing for any specialist insurance risks
• Salvaging and re-using existing materials as far as is practicable
• Establishing any areas, items or artefacts that require special protection
• Making adequate enquires to identify the availability of any requirement for the inclusion of historic materials
• Ensuring specialist sub-contractors workforces have the necessary skills to carry out the work to our demanding standards.
