The Drying of Historic and
Conservation Properties
Andrew Bussey - Director
BSc (Hons) DipArchCons FRICS C.Build E MCABE
A Refresher….
• Common heritage materials
• How they react to moisture
• Effective drying
• Drying Philosophy
• Listed Buildings – complying with the law
• Case Study
• When it goes wrong
Hardwood Timber
Masonry
Lime Plaster/Mortar
How do they get wet?
• Flood
• Storm Ingress
• Penetrating damp
• Pipe leakage
• Condensation
• Rising damp
• Fire service water and exposure
• Long term saturation
• Flash incident
• Atmospheric
• Sporadic
How do they react
• Hardwood timbers
• Masonry
• Lime products
• They’re robust and durable
• Compare to modern materials
• It is an ‘honest’ material
Look to retain…
• But essential dried to suitable state
• Timber will rot…
• Masonry will spall…
• Plaster will fail…
Creative drying
• Optimal Strip out
• Open drying routes and pockets
• Tenting
• Injection
• Focussed
• The drying companies know what their kit can do!
Controlled Drying
Drying Philosophy
• Think about the cause and the incident
• Investigate how its put together
• The impact of moisture
• Minimal intervention
• Focussed and balanced drying
• Manage expectations
Listed Buildings
• UK full of amazing buildings that we want to protect from harm
• Mostly older properties but some more recent
• The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservations Areas) Act 1990
• Grade I (2.5%) ‘Exceptional’
• Grade II* (4.8%) ‘more than special interest’
• Grade II (92.7%) ‘special’
• Scheduled Ancient monuments, parks and gardens, battlesites,
conservation areas
• How do you know? Policyholder, Historic England Website
• Is it old, impressive, unique
• Remember its all listed!
Listed Building Consent
• Permission needed to demolish, alter or
extend that affects character.
• Are you affecting architectural and
historical importance?
• Simple like for like repairs exempt
Does Strip Out and Drying need LBC?
• Minimal like for like ‘repair’ is acceptable
• But we get instructions to deal with
breaches and enforcement….
• Stripped ceilings is common
• Best to check
• Talk to LA Cons’ Officer
LBC Process
• It’s a planning application
• Application form, drawings, proposals,
design and access statement
• No fee
• Local Council and Consultees
• 8 week decision period!
• Not conducive to emergency works
• Seek to negotiate rapid permission
Case Study
• Winslow Hall
Our Action Plan
• Establish moisture source and eliminate
• Plot moisture spread
• Materials affected
• Our preferred strip out and drying plan
• Meeting with Cons Officer and H.England
• Exchange of letters
• Stripped and drying in 2 weeks of incident
• Letter approval of schedule
Listed Building Advice
• If it’s a major loss get a specialist involved
• Investigate and make a plan
• Engage with Authorities and get them
involved as early as possible
• Everything in writing
• Ignore this and enforcement could arise
• Repeat the work
When it goes really wrong…
