Understanding Traditional Buildings

A series of one day seminars essential for anybody responsible for a traditional property
This series of seminars is now complete, sign up to our newsletter from the home page for the latest news -
in the meantime we still offer the CPDs at our premises in Devon for building professionals

Mike Wye & Associates in collaboration with the Listed Property Owners Club and a team of experts aim to pass on some of their wealth of knowledge via a series of one day seminars. The seminars are essential to anybody who is planning work on or the purchase of a traditional building. Attendance could literally save thousands of pounds in preventing costly mistakes. Something as simple as applying the wrong paint or insulation can cause many problems.

Held from 9am to 4.30pm, there are free information packs provided at the end of the day. The information packs include presentation notes so that all delegates may concentrate on the talks rather than note taking. Download a leaflet.

For each day the seminars cover all the following topics:

Researching & owning a listed building Understanding dampness & improving insulation Lime, its history, use, where and why to apply it Case studies of conservation, repair and improvements VAT on listed buildings Natural & breathable paints Insurance
