Homeowners

Homeowners of period properties may have many questions about understanding and caring for their building.

The SPAB aims to help owners of old buildings by providing training, technical advice and publications.

Common questions asked are:

  • How do I know if this crack in my wall is serious?
  • Am I doing the right thing for my period home?
  • I'd like to get a professional in, but I'm worried about being ripped off?
  • Do I really need to install a damp proof course?

TECHNICAL ADVICE & PUBLICATIONS:
For free building conservation advice, telephone the SPAB Technical Advice Line on 0207 456 0916 (Monday - Friday, 09:30 - 12:30).
Books, technical pamphlets and information sheets are available to purchase online.

TRAINING:
The SPAB offers training for owners and people who care for pre-1919 properties.
Our courses and events are led by experts and gives period property owners access to the kind of advice and guidance that can be difficult to obtain.

Our courses for homeowners invariably feature lively question and answer sessions and a close look at case studies. They also offer the opportunity to meet like-minded enthusiasts and fellow owners of old and listed buildings whose own experiences and stories provide an inspiring, supportive and very relevant backdrop to the sessions.

The SPAB has launched an exciting new course for homeowners in 2013 - an event on improving the energy efficiency of old houses, led by Marianne Suhr and Roger Hunt (and coinciding with the publication of their Old House Eco Handbook in association with the SPAB).  This one day course will take place on the following days at these locations:
