The uncomfortable truth

A lot of old buildings, even those given a clean bill of health by a “surveyor” can have horrors in store. I this case no foundations and floor levels excavated under the stone standings were not picked up by a local well respected one.

Whenever we uncover a sight like this one can’t help being filled with a bit of dread. Usually though there is a cost effective, structurally sound, naturally insulated breathable solution if you can think out of the box a bit, (and sometimes there has to be a little concrete in the mix).

We will do some diagrams/cross-sections of our solutions at a later date… until then here’s a bit of an idea.

See here is Kieran on work trial, getting nicely stuck in.
