Lee Gillard
Lee started out as a qualified Bricklayer to then go on to starting his own company Gillards building services. After his reputation led him to gaining work on older Buildings he found his passion for conservation. This then led him on to training at the Scottish Lime Centre for the use of historic mortars and traditional masonry repairs working towards a level 3 SVQ in masonry conservation. He has since then been mentored by Nigel on the use of hot Lime mortars … From this he is working towards achieving a fellowship with the society of protection of ancient buildings. Both committed S.P.A.B supporters and members we believe it is important to maintain the original fabric of your building.
