About this product
Product Information
Many of Britain's four million Victorian and Edwardian houses were shoddily built and often require 'essential repairs'. Problems such as rising damp, timber decay, bowed roofs and subsidence are well-known, but at what point do these common problems become major defects? Forget 'makeovers': this easy-to-use manual shows where to look for danger signs, what's normal and what isn't, and how to fix common defects. Equipped with this book, you can talk the same language as builders and property professionals, and this new edition includes updated rules and regulations as well as guidance on the latest environmental issues.Product Identifiers

Great book
This book is exactly what I was looking for. I own a Victorian house and wanted to understand how it was built and what it was made from so that I would know how to carry out renovations and repairs. It is packed full of information and I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of doing any remedial work to a Victorian or Edwardian house. Even if you won't be doing the work it will give you the knowledge to know whether your contractor understands your house and is carrying out the work properly. Not all modern day building materials should be used on older buildings, they cause more harm than good. Not all builders understand this, up until recently I didn't either. This book will enable me to verify a contractors knowledge before they undertake any work and for that this book is invaluable.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent information for both property professionals and amateurs alike
Highly recommended book for trainee surveyors and / or members of the public involved in property renovation. It helps to pinpoint potential weaknesses in the original construction, e.g. lack of water-proof membranes, and offers some guidance on renovation. I love this book - it is just right.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

V useful
Buying a Victorian house and survey identified lots of repairs. Felt rather intimidating but the book helps us understand how house was constructed & has given us confidence to recognise & maybe do some maintenance ourselves. Just what we needed!
