About this product

Product Information

Britain has a wonderfully rich stock of period houses - everything from medieval cottages to Georgian townhouses and Edwardian mansions. But many of these historic properties are now at risk. Some are unwittingly damaged by well-meaning owners or incompetent builders; others suffer long-term deterioration where mortgage lenders have imposed quick-fix 'remedies'. Despite being some of the most sustainable buildings on the planet, many old houses are now being subjected to ill-advised works to upgrade thermal efficiency, resulting in the destruction of the very qualities that make them so appealing, slashing their values. Haynes have come to the rescue with this clearly written, lavishly illustrated manual explaining the correct approach to care and repair - covering the full range of traditional materials. Every old house has a story to tell, so Haynes also show how to explore your home's history and strip back modern finishes to reveal long lost original features. This comprehensive manual is essential reading whether you want to get your hands dirty or just want to understand how old houses work and how to go about employing specialist craftsmen.

    Fantastic book on owning and maintaining period property. Excellent hardbound manual printed on high quality paper. A lifesaver if you are new to the subject and would like to avoid what could be costly mistakes!

    Essential book for pre war home buyers and owners

    What a brilliant book, probably wouldn't have bought my house if I've read this first! But at least I know what needs to be done now. You'd be better buying this book than wasting money on a survey. Absolutely invaluable

    Essential reading if you own or work with old buildings

    If you have an old house and particularly if it is in need of renovation or has damp problems you absolutely need to have this book. Wether you are doing it yourself or employing tradesmen this book will save you a great deal of money and possibly prevent you making things worse or damaging the property by using incorrect materials or techniques. There are a lot of ignorant people and con-men out there; the knowledge you will gain from this book and possible further research you may do as a result of reading it will stand you in good stead. I speak from experience

    Great Book 📖

    Really great read, interesting & practical, if your interested in buying an old house & don’t have much experience with period properties then this is an excellent resource. This book is not just for the novice.
