The SPAB were warmly welcomed to our project in Maidstone high street, Kent. Great to share our wonderful conservation experience. Lead carpenter Gary Philbrick, site supervisor Ronald Vincent and the carpentry team were on site to talk through the repair journey. We have worked with architects Anthony Swaine and engineers AlanBaxters. .
