With the help of local contractors the Estates maintenance team, maintain and renovate a wide variety of heritage properties on the Estate.

An example of work recently carried out is the renovation of a 14th century near Silchester. This involved rebuilding a wall using oak timbers from the Estate, re-thatching and making good all the old lathe and plaster.

In addition to the 300 dwellings on the Estate, many agricultural buildings have to be maintained. Some Victorian farm buildings, though state of the art in their time, have no modern agricultural use. While some can be converted for offices or light industrial use, many are maintained by the Estate for purely their aesthetic value.
