sacred stewardship.
Heritage Compliance You Can Trust
Steward's in-house heritage consultants understand listed-building consent, faculty jurisdiction, and Historic England guidance — so your church warden doesn't have to become an expert overnight. We've guided 340+ Grade I and II* properties through planning consents without a single enforcement notice.
Planning Without the Paperwork Paralysis
From emergency roof repairs requiring urgent listed building consent to long-term restoration programmes, we manage the entire regulatory pathway. Our relationships with conservation officers across 14 dioceses mean approvals that would take months happen in weeks.
Every Sunday offering should fund ministry, not emergency plumbing. Steward's preventative programme catches problems before they become crises.
Roof & Masonry
Quinquennial inspections, emergency repair triage, lead valley replacement, and stonework repointing coordinated with approved conservation contractors.
Heating & Boilers
Annual gas safety certificates, oil and biomass system servicing, and underfloor heating surveys — so the radiators actually work on Christmas morning.
Insurance & Risk
We manage renewal cycles across your entire portfolio, ensuring adequate rebuild valuations and specialist ecclesiastical cover — never an underinsured nave again.
Compliance Audits
Fire risk assessments, electrical installation condition reports, asbestos surveys, and legionella risk — all tracked in one dashboard.
Reactive Maintenance
72-hour response guaranteed. One call reaches our network of 200+ vetted ecclesiastical contractors across England and Wales.
Accessibility
Disability access audits and improvement programmes that satisfy the Equality Act while respecting the character of historic sacred spaces.
Every faith tradition,
one standard of care.

"Steward found £180,000 of deferred maintenance we didn't know we had, then helped us fund 60% of it through grants we didn't know existed. The vestry finally has a plan."
