 Built in the 1830s, probably on spoil from the construction of thenearby ‘New Cut’. It is thought to have been derelict for some years recently before being refurbished prior to purchase.
Following a detailed site investigation we have identified the causes of damp and thermal performance problems, we can now propose suitable solutions.
A draft proposal has been produced to speculate on what will be required to produce an accurate specification for the proposed works.
