'While regular maintenance may not be glamorous, it is essential and of course common sense: appropriate, regular maintenance (helps) avoid costly, wasteful and unnecessary later repairs'
HRH The Prince of Wales
Maintain is collaborating with the diocese of Gloucester on a new scheme to keep churches in the Gloucestershire area in good condition.
The scheme, 'GutterClear', can be visited at www.gutterclear.org
Maintain our Heritage (Maintain) was formed in 1999 to promote a new, long-term, sustainable strategy for the care of historic buildings with pre-eminence given to maintenance rather than sporadic major repair.
A shift to systematic maintenance will require a change in attitude, policy and practice in government, the construction industry, the heritage sector and historic building owners.
