Welcome!

Upkeep is an independent charity that teaches people about buildings and how to look after them.

We promote good practice in the maintenance, refurbishment and improvement of buildings.

We believe that good maintenance of our existing buildings is key to environmental sustainability.

Training Courses about Building Care

We run short courses about buildings and building services. People working in housing, property management and facilities management attend our short courses to learn more about how to look after buildings.   Find out more about training at Upkeep
