Continuing professional development is an important part of providing the highest standard of conservation and restoration services.
This week, I had the pleasure of attending an excellent Limecrete course with Ty-Mawr Lime at a truly unique historic property in Brecon. The course was highly informative, providing valuable practical knowledge and a deeper understanding of traditional building materials and methods.
The training took place at the former Postern Gaol, one of Brecon's two historic prisons. Built in 1842 on Postern Street, the gaol is renowned for its remarkably preserved basement cells and original iron doors. Today, this fascinating building has been sympathetically converted into a Grade II listed three-bedroom residence, allowing its rich history to live on.
One of the highlights of the course was meeting a fantastic group of like-minded people who share a passion for traditional buildings and heritage construction. It was great to exchange knowledge, experiences, and ideas, and I was delighted to offer my support to fellow attendees working on limecrete floor projects across the country—from Swansea to Northumberland.
Investing in specialist heritage training enables me to continue developing my skills and expertise, ensuring that Angel Historic Tile Restoration can offer clients the most knowledgeable advice, appropriate conservation methods, and the highest quality workmanship.
A huge thank you to for delivering such an engaging and worthwhile course, and to everyone who attended for making it such an enjoyable experience.
