Frequently asked questions
+Does Coventry accept reclaimed for Grade II works?
Yes — reclaimed is usually preferred over new for Grade II and Grade II* repairs.
+Can old ceramics be re-enamelled?
Yes — specialists spray a 2-pack epoxy that lasts 15–20 years and is indistinguishable from new.
+Do I need a heritage consultant?
For Grade I and Grade II* yes. For local conservation area consents, a good architect suffices.
