Preventive Maintenance

Conservation & Restoration

Regular, planned maintenance activities aimed at keeping heritage buildings and objects in good condition and preventing small issues from becoming major problems. This can include cleaning gutters on historic roofs to avoid water damage, periodically inspecting and treating wooden beams for pests, or tuning climate control systems in archives. Preventive maintenance is cost-effective and extends the life of heritage assets by addressing wear and tear early.
