In conversation with Moses Jenkins

In today’s episode we chat to Moses Jenkins, the Senior Technical Officer at Historic Environment Scotland. We chat about some of the key considerations needed when planning to ‘retrofit’ a traditional building as well as the appropriateness and success of different materials and products in traditional buildings.

If you have a question or would like to give us feedback, or ideas about future guests or topics, we’d love to hear from you so please give us a review and leave a comment wherever you get your podcasts, or get in touch by emailing us at [email protected]
