Historic Building workshop, Traditional vernacular building construction and materials, Godinton House, Ashford, Kent - POSTPONED
2020-07-09 09:00 - 17:00 | Godinton House, Ashford, Kent TN23 3BP, Ashford, Kent, TN23 3BP
Historic Building workshop
Traditional vernacular building construction and materials

Date: Thursday 9 July 2020
When: 0900 – 1700
Where: Godinton House, Godinton Lane, Ashford, Kent TN23 3BP
Cost: £125.00 plus VAT (£150.00) to include seminar proceedings, all refreshments, lunch, entrance to Shugbrough and comprehensive delegate pack
The day’s course will consider in depth the following aspects of historic building conservation and the care and repair of the heritage.

The local pallet of historic building materials. These including brick, stone, flint, timber, thatch and tile.
The more prestigious materials such as decorative plasterwork and glass.
The methods of selection and use of materials, identification of causes of failure and the selection of appropriate repair and conservation systems will all be considered.

The afternoon will be spent on a visit to Godinton House
The local pallet of traditional materials.
The use of stone and flint in the region was not just confined to the grand buildings and churches but was also used for a variety of ordinary domestic and vernacular buildings. Timber framing was also important in the medieval period but during the 16th century good building timber became scarce in the region. In the late medieval period the region saw some of the earliest use of brick in the country. After the 16th century brick became the most abundant local building material and was used for both the prestigious houses and the smaller domestic buildings. Water reed for thatching roofs was readily available from the reed beds of the wetland areas of the region. However for the more prestigious buildings clay tile was the preferred roofing material and again appeared quite early in the region. Glass for glazing windows became more available at the end of the 16th century though was expensive.
Care and Repair
The first important stage of the process of repair is to identify the sources which have caused the problems of decay to occur; these must be resolved before the building can be repaired. It is also important to understand the nature and function of historic materials and the dangers of the use of modern products which may not be as flexible or vapour permeable as the original materials. The use of inappropriate mortars can result in the rapid deterioration of historic masonry and long term structural problems. Many of the problems with historic structures are due to lack of maintenance and water ingress. The most appropriate methods of repair will be considered, not only for aesthetic reasons, but to ensure the correct performance and durability of the new work.
A brief history of Godinton
Godinton House dates back to the 14th century, when the Great Hall was first constructed. The house was then constructed around this central room over the subsequent centuries: the greatest part of it is Jacobean, but the most recent alterations were in the earliest 20th century. For the most part of its history, Godinton was the seat of the Toke Family, Kentish gentry, who oversaw the majority of its construction according to their tastes. Eventually Godinton was sold to the Ashley Dodds, who employed the architect Reginald Blomfield to alter and update the house and gardens. In 1917, Godinton was sold to Lillie Bruce Ward, whose family lived here until the last owner’s death in 1996

The TORC system creates a gentle swirling vortex using a mixture of low air pressure, little water and a safe inert fine granulate.
25L: Approximate water consumption per hour.
The Torc Head is modularised into separate components which results in an efficient and gentle swirling vortex using even less water and granulate than the original Jos system.
The removable nozzle cone can easily be changed so that a larger cone can be used to clean large areas such as ashlar or a smaller nozzle cone can be used for more intricate detail such as an elaborate capital or rustications.

Get ready for March 1st - the RICS home survey standard
2021-02-23 13:00 - 17:00 | Online via zoom, United Kingdom
You will no doubt be aware of the new RICS home survey standard which was due to become mandatory for surveyors in June 2020. Due to COVID-19 it will now come into force on the 1 March 2021. The proposed changes aim to better protect buyers, and sellers, by making sure they fully understand the importance and benefits of commissioning a home survey and making it simpler for consumers to understand what is checked, the different surveys on offer and the level of service delivered by RICS members. The aim is to ensure consistency in the types of survey offered necessitated by a changing market place, updated technology and consumer needs.
This half day event is a follow up to the roadshows held across the UK between December and February last year, contains different information and will update you on the latest thinking. There will be more emphasis on the process of the correct survey level being offered by surveyors, particularly in light of the Hart v Large case. The HSS expects that the surveyor will advise the client/ enquirer of the levels offered by that firm, and how they may be appropriate for the property itself, and the client’s needs.
There is additional RICS material. This includes T&Cs, vendor questionnaire and equipment list which will all be referred to
The speakers include Tom Littler who sits on the RICS Home Surveys Standards Working Group and the RICS Survey & Valuation Working Group; and Philip Santo who is also well known to most of you.
The event will focus on the following:

Introduction and latest developments
Applying the standard prior to inspection
Applying the standard during inspection
Applying the standard to reporting
Impact of the Hart v Large case

The cost of the event is £65.00 plus VAT (£78) to include seminar proceedings and a delegate pack.
It is recommended you read the new standard prior to attendance
