It can be a real challenge to retrofit a traditional pre-1920s building, which calls for different materials and techniques than a cavity-wall home.

If you're wondering how to upgrade your home, join us for this free webinar with a panel of experts in different aspects of retrofitting traditional buildings. 

You'll also have the chance to put your questions to them in a Q&A session. 

This online event is perfect for householders who want to know more about ways to retrofit traditional buildings.

You'll:

• Get an insight into where to start with your retrofit, covering both maintenance and retrofitting, with lots of hints and tips, as well as pitfalls to avoid.
• Find out about a new guide by CAfS on retrofitting older buildings, being launched at the event
• Hear from those who were involved in the #ReadyForRain project, retrofitting a sandstone terraced house in Appleby, covering how it was improved and what it is like to live in now.

Panel

We're still firming up our panel, but so far it includes:

• James Innerdale, traditional buildings architect
• Chris Morphet, LakeDistrict Lime
• Emma Greenshaw, CAfS
• Tina Holt, CAfS
