A two day course focusing on the main repair methods and ethics behind brickwork conservation. Time will be spent in the lecture room to give an understanding of how to go about the process of surveying, specifying and carrying out a repair. Topics covered will include common faults, lime mortars, materials (and where to source them) and tools.

Practical sessions will give you the opportunity to mix a variety of different lime mortars, then use these to repoint some brickwork on our purpose built sample walls.
