Details of Work:
Maintenance and Repair.
This is a detail of serious decay to timber floor structures in a large Victorian House. The floors were found to spring and when opened up, as shown in the photograph, we found extensive Woodworm and Wet Rot Decay. We were able to advise our client’s to install specialist joist replacements built into new wall plates within the stone wall to entirely repair the defect in the long term. |

Property: Large 17th Century Manor
Listed Status: Grade I
Details of Work:Building Pathology:This is Grade I listed building in Mid Devon. Following purchase, major problems with dampness internally where discovered. Our clients requested that we advise upon the cause of the dampness. The work involved a detailed examination of the condition of roofs, and internal surfaces which were excessively damp following a cool and wet spring. We advised our client’s that the problems were due to poor ventilation, and lack of knowledge of the humidity control systems which had earlier been installed, clearly to help with the problem we diagnosed. The situation is now back to a normal for a building of this type.
