Synopses

The Victorian House Manual

This second edition sets out how Victorian and Edwardian houses were built, and how to approach improvements and refurbishment with care. It addresses the impact of neglect, unsuitable materials and poorly executed repairs, including issues that can be hidden even in newly refurbished homes. Clear colour photographs support guidance on where to look for danger signs and how to tackle common defects.

Home Extension

Focused on extending rather than moving, this manual explains how to stay in control when undertaking an extension, whether you employ a contractor or carry out some work yourself. The new edition includes updated information on Building Regulations and planning requirements, alongside topics such as CAD design, energy efficiency, underfloor heating, bi-folds, liquid screeds, woodburning stoves and renewable energy. It also sets out an approach aimed at delivering a high-quality result on time and within budget.

Period Property

Covering Britain’s wide range of period homes, from medieval cottages to Georgian townhouses and Edwardian mansions, this manual looks at why historic buildings can be put at risk by inappropriate work and quick-fix remedies. It outlines the correct approach to care and repair across traditional materials, and considers the consequences of ill-advised thermal-efficiency upgrades. Haynes also explains how to explore a home’s history and uncover original features beneath modern finishes, with guidance for those undertaking work themselves or employing specialist craftspeople.
