Help safeguard the UK’s built heritage

The Natural Stone Show’s Conservation Area provides free advice, enlightening case studies and a forum for the exchange of information experience and opinions, helping you select the correct stone for building repair. Stone is an important part of the £3.6 billion conservation sector and has a thriving community of specialists committed to safeguarding the UK’s built heritage. This is represented at the show through a dedicated conservation area co-ordinated by Historic England and English Stone Forum, together with partner organisations including Historic Scotland, Building Limes Forum, the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) and Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC).
