Construction methods for historic buildings greatly differ from those of a modern building, as do materials. Understanding construction methods of an historic building and the traditional materials used for their construction are paramount to identifying problems and providing solutions to address issues, such as damp and timber decay. Often the application of modern materials such as cement render and modern insulation products can have an adverse effect on historic buildings such as locking in moisture, causing damp and decay to historic fabric.

Inappropriate repairs and works to a listed building can have an adverse impact to the charachter and appearance of the building
