Fancy learning a crucial trade? Why not consider a fellowship opportunity to learn traditional thatching?

Find out more here: 👇🏼

Amazing opportunity to learn from one of Scotland's last remaining thatchers! 📢 On the edge of the Atlantic, on Scotland's Western Isles, Neil Nicholson is steadfastly plying his trade as one of Scotland's few remaining thatchers. Neil often works using marram grass, a local material that would have historically covered many more buildings in the area.

Now, one lucky person has the chance to learn this critically endangered skill from Neil himself in North Uist. You could be part of a modest revival in Scotland's thatching skills. You need an interest in conserving historic structures and some practical experience using hand and power tools.

Our Thatching Craft Fellow will work with Neil to learn traditional building skills including Highlands and Islands thatching, thatch maintenance and thatch materials collection.

This is a really rare and exciting opportunity! Find out more and apply to become a Thatching Craft Fellow with HEB Thatch: https://ow.ly/R26r50YwlK2

Thinking of buying an old or character property? 🏡

From Victorian terraces and country cottages to true fixer-uppers, period homes offer charm you just can’t replicate — but they also deserve the right understanding.

A pre-purchase building survey helps you understand how an older house really works, from traditional materials and historic alterations to future maintenance planning. It’s not about finding faults — it’s about buying with confidence.

Whether you’re:
• planning a sensitive renovation
• restoring original features
• or comparing an older home to a new build
A survey before you buy helps you protect the character you love while planning for the future.

✨ Respect the past. Buy smarter. Adapt and renovate wisely.

What draws you to older homes?
