Homeowners' Weekends
AN INTRODUCTION TO THE REPAIR OF OLD HOUSES
• I've got damp in my property - what do I do?
• How do I know if this crack in my wall is serious?
• Am I doing the right thing for my period home?
Our long established weekend courses aim to provide owners with the knowledge

offers the sort of expert guidance that is often hard to obtain.

of topics including:

• Coping with Damp
• Timber Decay & Repair
• Surfaces & Finishes
• Roofs **
• Listed Building Consent **
• Choosing a Professional Advisor **
• Pointing, Plasters & Renders
• Case Studies
• Questions to the Panel
