Product Description

Product Description
This title should help owners, builders and all construction professionals make the decisions that are right for old buildings. It illustrates the long term benefits of using more traditional solutions on older houses rather than modern materials like cement based mortars, sealants or impervious paints. It offers practical guidance on: how to get the right professional advice; legal requirements for listed buildings; problems with damp and rot; use of lime mortars, plasters and renders; the benefits of using water based paints; why old buildings need to breathe; planning applications; and trees, outbuildings and gardens.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading, 2 Dec 2002
This book is brilliant. It covers everything that an owner of an old building should know, from legal requirements of ownership right through to sympathetic maintenance and alteration. What is even better is that the book is written in plain English with clear and easy to understand explanations. This makes it an accessible read for anyone who owns an old building regardless of their background and experience.

Thoroughly recommended.
