We are delighted to be an IHBC approved provider and offer members a 10% discount on any full day seminar. Of particular interest for IHBC members is the annual series of historic buildings days. These are held in various regions of the country and usually the format is to focus on specific local materials and repair problems illustrated by Kevin’s exhaustive collection of historic artefacts, followed by an interactive visit to a local historic property to put the theory into context and  to view problems and solutions first hand.
