well-presented and informative"An excellent one day course in house renovation for houses from 50 to 500 years old; well-presented and informative. I would recommend it to anyone embarking on, or even already started on, a house renovation project. Well worth the cost, which includes all the slides from the screen presentation."

Thanks to all for an excellent series of courses.”

a great presenter and communicator“It's a sign of how good this course is that we have no house to renovate but still found it hugely beneficial, full of information and know-how that we can now apply to the wider task of house-building [...] A wonderful course, thank you!”
