Owning an older property can be rewarding but maintaining it isn’t always simple. Repairs and upkeep can feel overwhelming, that’s why the Traditional Buildings Health Check (TBHC) was set-up, a not-for-profit scheme designed to make caring for your building easier.
Traditional Buildings Health Check provides expert advice to help you:
Becoming a member of the TBHC will give you year-round access to our services and support.
Owners of any property type are eligible as long as their building is of traditional construction – built before 1919, has solid masonry walls and uses traditional materials like stone and slate.
It may be your home, business or a public or community building. It doesn’t need to be in a Conservation Area or Listed, but it must be in the Stirling City boundary, in Bridge of Allan, Dunblane or Blairlogie.
To properly care for your building, you need to understand its condition. That’s why we offer a subsidised low-cost Health Check Inspection, carried out by expert inspectors using advanced tools like drones for a complete picture of the exterior fabric of the building.
New members can get £25 off their first inspection by signing up for our Membership Package. This special membership package covers one year’s membership to the scheme and the first subsidised property inspection and condition report.
