Description

The Old House Handbook: A Practical Guide to Care and Repair is a comprehensive guide for those who own an old house. Written in association with The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, this fully revised and updated book provides informed practical guidance on maintaining and repairing your historic property. From foundations to roof, and from modern services to traditional paintwork and finishes, this handbook covers all aspects of caring for an old building. It offers a respectful approach to repair rather than restoration, ensuring that the special qualities of your home are preserved. With expert advice on breathability, damp in walls and floors, and more, this book is essential reading for anyone with an old house. Whether you're dealing with timber-framed medieval cottages or Victorian or Edwardian terraces, this handbook provides practical guidance to help you look after your property.
