Repair Grants

Our grants are designed to assist with Priority 1 & 2 external fabric repairs identified in your TBHC Inspection Report which involve the use of traditional materials and methods only. We cannot fund works considered to be maintenance, retrospective or emergency works, or works to Council Tax Band H properties. We can fund high quality conservation repairs using traditional materials and methods. All works must meet Historic Environment Scotland’s Advisory Standards of Conservation Repair.

For more information on grant eligibility please see our 2025-2026 Grant Guidance.

For more information on how grant applications are assessed, please see our 2025-2026 Grant Guidance.

Please be aware that you should not start works until you have your formal grant award and have signed and returned the grant contract. We do not fund retrospective repair works.

Allow plenty of time to apply for the grant and seek quotes. If your work is urgent due to water ingress or a safety issue you should address this. The grant is not suitable for emergency works.

It is likely to take a minimum of 6 months to apply for a grant, from receipt of your TBHC Inspection Report to receiving a grant offer.
