Summer 2022

Courses for this year are now closed for the summer while we concentrate on historic repair contracts around North Wales, please sign up to our mailing list for information about future course dates and events.

Our beautiful historic cottage Y Bragdy, built in 1498, is now available for short stays and can be booked with Under The Thatch.

Please get in touch with us by email or phone, for conservation work, bespoke training or timber from the sawmill.

About the Natural Building Centre

We believe that everyone can learn the skills required to carry out authentic and lasting repairs to their historic structures, which respect the tradition, aesthetics and fabric of the original architecture. These include the practical techniques needed, as well as a foundation knowledge of the right materials and how to source them. Most of all, our ethos is all about a sustianable future for traditional building, whether thats keeping valuable skills alive or using local materials that are readily available, and avoiding wherever possible expensive packaged product, which is heavy on plastic and road miles.
