Synopsis

The Building Conservation Directory is the only source of information in the UK that is specifically designed to meet the needs of historic buildings. Originally established by conservation specialists to address the lack of information on suitable products and services, the Directory now provides details of over 1,000 conservation organisations, companies and individual craftsmen. Owners of historic buildings can find everything they need in this single publication, from sources of lime putty and horse hair to sources of information and advice, and from specialist structural engineers and historians to traditional timber frame builders. A special feature of this edition is a series of articles on paint. Colin Mitchell Rose, a founder member of the Traditional Paint Forum, explains the nature and composition of paints, limewashes and distempers. Metalwork conservator Keith Blackney explains the different techniques of cleaning historic ironwork prior to painting!
. And Nigel Young examines the restoration of the richly painted and ornamented Bear Garden, one of the principal rooms in London's Royal Courts of Justice.
