Repair Of Old Houses

Wheathills has hosted a series of courses on The Repair Of Old Houses in conjunction with SPAB and featured BBC2 presenter Marianne Suhr.

Introduction to The Repair of Old Houses .

The weekend course aims to provide homeowners with the knowledge necessary to make informed decisions about the repair of their own property, and offers the sort of expert guidance that is often hard to obtain.

The event brings together a unique collection of experienced speakers, including Marianne Suhr who recently featured on the popular BBC2 'Restoration' programme, with a particular emphasis on making the weekend's lectures and practical workshops both enjoyable and educational.
The full weekend course covers:
Building traditions in the Derbyshire area;
The conservation approach to old houses;
Pointing and Rendering;
Timber decay, and dealing with damp;
How to choose a professional advisor;
Practical Workshops: limepointing, plastering and limewashing;
Repairing traditional roofs;
Interiors & surface finishes;
Case Studies providing a useful insight into the experience of other homeowners;
Question & Answer Session.
