Recognising Wood Rot and Insect Damage in Buildings by A. F. Bravery,Roger William Berry,J. K. Carey Pdf

Many fungi and insects can be found in buildings in the U.K. Some types cause damage to timber and may require expensive remedial measures, while others require no treatment at all. Correct identification is essential if the right treatment is to be given. This book contains the guidance needed to recognise the types of fungal decay and wood-boring insect damage that may be encountered: simple keys to identify the type of damage; separate pages of concise, easy to read notes on fungi and insects describing habitat, damage characteristics and fungal or insect characteristics; information on common misidentifications; full colour photographs of fungi and insect damage, and detailed drawings of adult insects and larvae.

Survey and Repair of Traditional Buildings by Richard Oxley Pdf

Understanding the unique requirements of traditional buildings is crucial to providing appropriate guidance on their care and repair. This book will help practitioners identify the particular issues relating to older buildings and the problems they may encounter when surveying and repairing them. With the use of examples, the author provides invaluable information on how traditional buildings perform, emphasizing the need for a sensitive and sustainable approach which also takes account of the specific needs of the building. The book examines all aspects to be included in any assessment for survey and repair, and points out in detail the potential pitfalls. It also explores the controversial issues surrounding the treatment of damp and timber decay, advocating solutions that are appropriate to older buildings rather than using standard, often damaging, methods of treatment. The extensive case studies not only illustrate good conservation in practice but also how projects can go badly wrong, and how mistakes could have been avoided. This title explores the causes of movement and the actions required. It advises on alternatives to chemical treatment for damp and timber decay. It provides fully illustrated case studies with numerous photographs. It emphasizes a sustainable approach to conservation. It outlines the key legislation issues. It includes the Historic Buildings Prosecution Fines Database and other useful appendices.

Wood Rot by CRC Press Pdf

When it becomes damp, some timber is liable to deterioration and decay, with potentially serious implications for the structural integrity of the affected building. This is particularly true if the timber becomes infected with dry rot, which can spread and can be difficult to eradicate. This guide contains advice on inspecting for wood rot, identifying and treating the different types, and the repair of replacement of affected timbers. It should be read in conjunction with Good Repair Guide 13 on identifying and treating insect attack on timber.
