Inhaltsangabe


The 1930s house is a design icon and the first truly modern British home, with over 3 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?
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. Discover how your house was built – its age, materials and history, plus how some were 'jerry built' Each chapter is devoted to a key part of the house in the style of a building survey The Defect/Cause/Solution format helps you look up and solve the sort of defects commonly found in inter-war houses Step-by-step photographs show how to do maintenance and repairs Special projects suggest which improvements can add real value, as well as explaining what not to do
