Working in Royal Wootton Bassett: local context
Royal Wootton Bassett contains a high proportion of period and conservation-area stock, including High Street Conservation Area. Schedules of Condition are particularly important on older fabric — original lime mortar, render and stonework can hairline-crack from normal seasonal movement, and a thorough pre-works baseline protects both owners from disputes later.
