Terrence Lee Conservation is a Shropshire-based company specializing in the conservation of traditional brickwork. The company undertakes practical conservation projects on a variety of traditional buildings and structures, including rural cottages, boundary walls, canal structures, and Georgian and Victorian townhouses, catering to clients who are passionate about preserving the character and functionality of their historic properties. The company emphasizes the importance of an informed approach to repairs, highlighting the detrimental effects of inappropriate modern materials like cement mortars on traditional brickwork.
They advocate for the use of lime mortars, which are environmentally friendly and allow walls to breathe, thus preventing saturation and decay. Terrence Lee Conservation also offers brickwork survey and assessment services, providing detailed information for homeowners, potential buyers, and building professionals to inform conservation statements, funding applications, and specifications. In addition to practical conservation work, Terrence Lee Conservation provides training and lecturing on traditional brickwork.
These courses aim to educate participants on the history, materials, methods, and decay mechanisms associated with brickwork from different historical eras, with a focus on the Restoration, Georgian, and Victorian periods. This comprehensive approach ensures that repairs are not only aesthetically pleasing and durable but also executed with techniques appropriate to the building's era.
