At UP Maintenance, we recognise the significance of heritage properties and the importance of preserving their unique character and historical integrity. Our specialised heritage property maintenance services are dedicated to ensuring that traditionl techniques and materials are utilised, allowing your property to retain its original charm while meeting modern standards.
Heritage Services:
We offer a wide range of maintenance and restoration services specifically tailored for heritage properties including:
We specialise in repairing structural elements such as timber frames, stone facades, and intricate plasterwork, employing techniques that align with original craftsmanship.
Our services include maintaining traditional roofing systems—such as slate and tile roofs—as well as the repair of gutters and downpipes to protect your property from water damage. We even cover wood gutters made to exact design and specification.
With a team experienced in historical preservation, we emphasize using appropriate materials and techniques that respect the building’s integrity. Our tailored solutions are designed to meet your specific needs while adhering to heritage regulations.
Investing in Our Craft
At UP Maintenance, we understand that the current apprenticeship course often focus on new builds, leaving a gap in training and skills for the maintenance of older properties. As skilled craftsmen retire, we recognise the vital need to invest in new recruits who are dedicated to preserving our heritage.
We are committed to bridging this gap by providing specialised training and mentorship in heritage property maintenance. Our programs equip aspiring professionals with the traditional skills and techniques necessary to care for and restore historic buildings.
By nurturing new talent, we ensure that the craftsmanship and knowledge required for maintaining our treasured heritage properties are not lost. We believe that investing in the future workforce is essential for the protection and preservation of our architectural history. Join us in our mission to safeguard the buildings that tell our stories!
