 BOOKS : OLD HOUSE HANDBOOK
A practical guide to care and repair
by Roger Hunt & Marianne Suhr
A motivating, well illustrated book that makes even the most derelict of buildings seem a little less daunting. Whether it's a timber framed medieval cottage, an eighteenth century urban terrace or an example of Victorian or Edwardian speculative development. It shows you how to maintain an old house and cope with any problems without damaging the patina that builds up over the ages.
Whether you want to simply maintain an old building or are taking on a wreck in need of major work, there is no shortage of information available in the Old House Handbook. It provides you with a practical approach and it is full of useful advice based on the best current practice. Advice sections from experts are scattered throughout the book which gives invaluable tips on what to consider when repairing certain areas of your home.
From the foundations to the roof, from the need for modern services to the maintenance of traditional paintwork and finishes, from windows and doors to breathability and damp in walls and floors, Old House Handbook provides deeply informed no-nonsense advice.
