Works that may be Considered for Grant Aid
The grants scheme is intended to help towards the costs of repairs to the fabric of a building, particularly those features that distinguish it as a building of interest.
Typically, the types of work that would be eligible for grant would include:
- Repairs and restoration works to walls, roofs, doors, windows, external decorative features, chimneys and traditional shopfronts.
- Treatment of woodworm, dry rot, etc. and waterproofing.
- In the case of Grade I and II* listed buildings, work to internal features may be included if they are considered sufficiently important, and in this case a condition of grant may be that these features are available for the general public to view.
- If the building is sufficiently important, thatching may be eligible; this will be normally conditional on the use of traditional long straw.
In contrast, it should be noted that the following are not included:
- General maintenance
- Replacement of services such as gas, electricity, etc
- Alterations or additions.
