Understanding Repair and Maintenance of Traditional Pre-1919 Buildings

Date: 26th & 27th March 2015 

Venue: Ham House, Richmond, Surrey 

Working in partnership with the Ann Cook Associates, National Trust, National Heritage Training Group and CITB, the PDA is hosting a 2 day course on Understanding Repair and Maintenance of Traditional Pre-1919 Buildings. 

The Award is suitable for those who regularly work on the repair, maintenance, refurbishment and retro-fitting of old buildings, but who lack the understanding of the guiding principles for this type of work. The Unit will improve awareness of the right approaches, and can also add to, and reinforce, existing knowledge for more experienced practitioners working in this sector.

Ann Cook Associates' course delivery focuses on the Craft of Decorative Occupations (Painting and Decorating).
