What our members say

Sarah
Inspector of Historic Buildings
Member since
2010
Through my involvement with the Society I've learnt so much about building materials and sensitive repairs to historic buildings of all ages - invaluable when I was a student, as a conservation officer and now as an inspector of historic buildings.
Leah
Homeowner & Journalist
Member since
2015
We live in an early Victorian house which had been plagued with damp problems. As SPAB members we were aware of the technical helpline and contacted the Society. Just one phone call has recouped the cost of our membership many times over.
Joe
Historic Building Consultant
Member since
2001
I actively encourage others to join the SPAB because it offers expert understanding, education and hands-on courses, all at excellent value to members. There is no other organisation that can provide the same support to those people who care for our built heritage.
