Heritage at risk
At Six Heritage, we believe in holistic building investigations and solutions. That historic structures should be protected, responsibly improved and repaired. We believe that we can all do more to make heritage at risk just heritage.
Engagement
We look to actively engage in projects at home and abroad where we believe we can make a real difference to local, national and international communities to preserve built heritage for generations to come. Unfortunately, many of our precious historic assets face threats ranging from neglect and deterioration to vandalism, natural disaster and urban development pressures.
Whether it’s a collapsing barn in the English countryside or a site of cultural/religious significance in a war-torn country; we want to
provide our services to find a realistic and responsible path forward. We work with partners at charities, NGOs, national and international
governmental bodies and private firms to establish where we can be of most assistance.
Our approach to surveying heritage at risk
Objectives
Preservation
Safeguarding and preserving heritage assets for future generations to enjoy and appreciate.
Education
Promoting awareness and appreciation of cultural heritage through the publication of articles or the presentation of findings.
Sustainable development
Integrating heritage conservation into sustainable development practices to ensure the long-term viability of heritage sites and communities. We are particularly well placed to achieve this by utilising our wealth of experience in the field of building pathology.

All our staff are HEAT (hostile environment awareness training) certified. This internationally recognised certification equips our team with the appropriate level of training and readiness to operate in some of the most volatile and high-risk environments around the globe, allowing us to offer our services to protect even the most vulnerable heritage assets.
