Renfrewshire Council

You can apply for grants to plan and carry out repairs on privately owned historic buildings in one of eleven Renfrewshire villages. 

The scheme encourages the use of local conservation professionals, materials, repair methods and techniques that fit with the age and construction of the property.

There are two grants available. However, funding for these grants is limited. Each application is assessed against the criteria of the grants, so we can't guarantee you'll get a grant or get the amount you've applied for.

Maintenance planning grant

The maintenance planning grant can be used for a conservation accredited professional advisor to develop a maintenance plan for a building built before 1945.

You can apply for up to 80% of eligible costs, excluding VAT, to a maximum value of £1,500.

The closing date for this grant was Monday 29 January 2024.
