Training

Whether you need to learn the basics or you’d like to hone your existing building skills, TLC can often help with its training courses

We are always thrilled to introduce people to the basic best practice when using lime as a building material. Homeowners looking to use lime on their own projects can soon learn the correct mixes and how to apply lime to their buildings. All the basic skills can be taught in a relatively short space of time – after all, many of the solid walled buildings in Wales were not built by people who considered themselves builders – they usually had other day jobs.

Seasoned modern builders often join our courses to learn about these old techniques and materials. They are then in a position to specify the correct materials for the job in hand and expand their own businesses into the world of conservation.

We also run bespoke courses for professionals new to traditional building materials and techniques. Whilst we are one of lime’s biggest fans, we do not sell products ourselves, so our courses have no hidden agenda.
