This is the English Heritage Guidance document that covers almost all the issues I cover in this site. Hopefully, when you see the importance that EH gives the subject, you’ll realise I am not just ranting on..! It covers a wealth of stuff – from how to draughtproof old windows, to using lime renders and plasters, allowing buildings to breathe and so on. Its also important in that it recognises, for the first time, that pre 1920’s buildings, and many pre 1945 buildings, NEED to be treated differently to modern construction. Download this and take note – pages 36 to 39 or so are especially interesting. Eat your heart out Mr Rising Damp man, and get rid of your injection damp proofing rubbish.
