Many of Britain's four million Victorian and Edwardian houses were
shoddily built and often require 'essential repairs'. Problems like
rising damp, timber decay, bowed roofs and subsidence are well
known, but how can you tell if your house has major defects or is
just typical for its age? Forget 'makeovers': this new edition of
the Victorian House Manual, which has been extensively updated,
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.
Written in a friendly and enjoyable style, and yet technically
comprehensive. How your house was built - its age and history. What
adds value? Packed with entertaining snippets - everything from
anthrax in the walls and ingress of sewer rats to why cats are bad
news for some roofs. Each chapter is devoted to a key part of the
house: roofs, walls, windows, ceilings, etc, in the comprehensive
style of a Building Survey, with full-colour photos and some
step-by-step projects for repairs. Defects, causes and solutions:
how to identify, solve and prevent all common defects found in
Victorian houses, with some common scams exposed.
