Further Information
Timber Preservation
The building had been unoccupied for a number of years, and was
effected by dry rot and dampness and woodworm. Due to the damp in
the building, some of the large timber beams were found to have wet rot at the bearing ends. All wall plates
and rafter ends were treated with a preservative to help protect
the timbers from further wood rot problems.
Basement Waterproofing
The existing stone construction basement did not have a basement
waterproofing system in place. A cavity drain basement
waterproofing membrane system was designed and installed by
Stronghold for this building. A sump and pump system was also
installed.
