About this product
Product Information
The 1930s house is a design icon and the first truly modern British home, with over three million built. But many are now in need of 'essential repairs'. Problems like cavity wall tie failure, corroded metal windows, unstable bays, collapsing drains 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 easy-to-use manual shows where to look for danger signs, what's 'normal' and what isn't, and how to fix common defects. You'll also be able to talk the same language as builders and property professionals. This is the first book to cover logically all defects common to 1930s houses.Product Identifiers

Easy reading and informative
Just moved into a 1930's house with some original features but that also needs some improvements. I was keen to understand as much as I could about construction, problems to look out for etc. and this book is a great start on the road to knowing how my new house can be brought back to life and work in this decade.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Who'd of thought it existed
Came by this via a friend who also lives in a 1930s house, a must for every householder with this type of property, it covers all of the typical materials & design used during that iconic time. Only Haynes could capture it in a manual.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
