Traditional Building Maintenance with optional Stirling maintenance walk
We will explore how to reduce decay and damage in buildings with regular maintenance.
Join us to learn about the practicalities of detailed and regular inspections of traditional buildings. We’ll share how a robust maintenance plan can stave off decay and expensive repairs.
Our full-day experience includes a tour of Stirling’s historic Old Town. Our team will point out a range of maintenance issues within the city and discuss the perils of ignoring the warning signs of fabric decay.
For those who cannot join us in person, a virtual ticket is available for the morning only.
