Dear Sarah, I was going to second Tracey’s excellent advice – the HEng Concrete book is super useful, and obviously it would be entirely remiss of me not to mention the need for specialist advice and, potentially, the appropriate protected species licences given that all species of bats are protected by law (sorry … had to do it!), but I’ve also found this guidance useful in the past when working on similar projects: http://www.eurobats.org/sites/default/files/documents/publications/publication_series/pubseries_no2_english_3rd_edition.pdf p.32 has a pillbox case study. Hope that’s useful – all the very best, Elaine Elaine Willett Historic Environment Senior Adviser (Area 5 - East Midlands) Please note: I work compressed hours, typically 8am-6pm from Monday to Thursday with Friday being my non-working day.

From: Issues related to Historic Environment Records [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Sarah Orr Sent: 29 November 2017 10:22 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Pillbox conservation and repair - any concrete examples? Hello, does anyone have any guidance or experience in conservation or repair of concrete pillboxes where the roof is corroding? I’ve found this Historic England document https://content.historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/twentieth-century-military-sites/twentieth-century-military-sites.pdf/ but it is a bit thin on the detail - what steps are actually appropriate, eg painting surfaces? Any pointers would be gratefully received Best wishes Sarah Orr Acting Archaeological Officer/ Historic Environment Record Officer Public Protection and Culture West Berkshire Council Market Street Newbury RG14 5LD (01635) 519805 | Ext 2805 | [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> www.westberks.gov.uk/HER<http://info.westberks.gov.uk/HER> This email and any attachments to it may be confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
