One of the largest full-house retrofit projects \u2013 to include datalogging of RH, moisture and temperature.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Come and see it now, before the works starts!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why you should do this training course<\/p>\n

This is our fourth visit to this house. \u00a0 This visit follows three phases of extensive \u2018opening up\u2019 works to expose the historic timber-frame to further understand the extent of decay and to help with the decision making of what thermal insulation products might be suitable. \u00a0This project will include some funded research which will, hopefully, lead to a project possibly funded by Historic England that can be published, from which others can learn.<\/p>\n

This is a unique opportunity to see a Suffolk farm house in its \u2018raw\u2019 state before a series of sensitive conservation repairs will take place over the next few years. \u00a0 All being well, I am hoping that we can visit this house on several occasions as the work progresses.<\/p>\n

The white painted rendered facade hides a much older historic timber-framed house. \u00a0Dendro dating places the frame at 1628\/29. \u00a0 The render is cement based, almost like concrete, and is on an expanded metal lath. \u00a0It may have been added in the 1950\u2019s or 1960\u2019s. \u00a0 The sole plate, where exposed, has been severely damaged by decay.<\/p>\n

You will get to see the whole building and, as a group, we will discuss how a pre-purchase building survey might be undertaken on it . \u00a0 You will be within a safe and nurtured environment in a very small group of like-minded people. \u00a0 Use the opportunity to ask any questions that arise. \u00a0There is no such thing a silly question. \u00a0 We will discuss how such a large building can be retrofitted, extended and updated to meet the challenging requirements of the current day.<\/p>\n

By the end of the training you will be more confident and aware of..:<\/p>\n
