Frequently asked questions
+Does Sunderland accept reclaimed for Grade II works?
Yes — reclaimed is usually preferred over new for Grade II and Grade II* repairs.
+Are all London yellow bricks the same?
No — 19th-century stocks vary by pit. Match by texture and colour, not just era.
+Do I need a heritage consultant?
For Grade I and Grade II* yes. For local conservation area consents, a good architect suffices.
