Only when we understand how moisture moves within the fabric of a building can we predict how moisture will move after retrofitting works have been carried out\u2026.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This article originally appeared in\u00a0IHBC’s Context 149, published in May 2017. It was written by John Edwards, director of Edwards Hart\u00a0Consultants and Pete Ward, a director of Heritage House Consulting.<\/p>\n

The authors write:<\/p>\n

As often cited in best practice publications such as BS 7913<\/a>:2013, a\u00a0condition survey<\/a>\u00a0is essential before we contemplate any work to a building, and that must include a proper understanding of\u00a0dampness<\/a>. It is also essential that a proper investigation of\u00a0dampness<\/a>\u00a0is carried out that focuses on the cause and not just dealing with the symptoms\u2026<\/p>\n
