It was used extensively by the Romans more than 2,000 years ago in plumbing and construction of the great viaducts. In medieval cathedrals and churches lead was used in sheet form as roof coverings as well as for decorative rainwater gutters, downpipes and hoppers. In fact, lead more often than not, was and is used in connection with water, whether it be as a conduit for water, or as a waterproofing layer. If designed and installed right, lead can be highly durable and can sometimes last for hundreds of years in the most exposed locations. For example, the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral remains a sound example some three century’s after construction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61260b956f638d211f91c869/de753100-a197-4724-9dea-728c845f17c7/IMG_0765.jpg articles - Surprising facts about Lead Sheet Corrosion! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.basesixty.co.uk/news/mould-fundamentals monthly 0.5 2024-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61260b956f638d211f91c869/1672680795548-DMZ5P48ER5VHEOIK5F5Y/unsplash-image-rV9m9-a5_mE.jpg articles - Mould, a consequence of defect or use? - Why adding insulation might make this worse If a cold house means increased chances of mould, you might take your self to B&Q and buy a few rolls of insulation for the loft. Less heat lost through the roof will mean less mould, you think. Well, yes. Probably. But moisture is a tricky thing to manage. Heat rises, correct? And so, does hot moist air from the kitchen and the shower, from the cloths drying on your cloths horse or on the radiator. This warm moist air will rise up through all parts of your home, passing through gaps in the floor boards, holes in the ceiling where the lights are fitted, up through the loft hatch etc and into your loft. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61260b956f638d211f91c869/1672670512743-TQDRBYIJC94NWB3CCKYS/unsplash-image-r0XOEPG5iQU.jpg articles - Mould, a consequence of defect or use? - Mould in homes can be due to defects such as slow leaks, or rising damp, but more often than not, it is a consequence of condensation. After talking to clients, landlords, tenants, friends and family, we have come to the appreciation that mould, and specifically ‘condensation’ derived mould, is not always well understood. There seems to be a natural tendency to assume that mould always occurs due to a defect in the building and less of an appreciation that mould is often preventable and manageable if we adjust our usage habits. Specifically in the case of older buildings, there is often a need to adjust the way we use them to offset performance limitations of the building that may simply be a consequence of the age and method of construction typical for that building vintage. In this article, we will explain what we mean and useful processes to be aware of. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61260b956f638d211f91c869/1672680298654-CUJVM9848LVOSI4VJVC5/unsplash-image-S-wuTLjB_Cc.jpg articles - Mould, a consequence of defect or use? - Windows Windows are a cold bridge to the outside environment and will often ‘stay’ sufficiently cold for condensation to form and persist in scenarios where there is a lack of heating and any source of humidity. If this condensation is not dried by increased ‘heating’ or is cleaned, it will combine with dust (note what is said about nutrients earlier), and over time mould will grow. This will often happen in bathrooms where the air is more humid, and heating may be less. The conditions have arisen for condensation and mould by the occupants ‘use’ of the building alone, without any defects in the structure being present. https://www.basesixty.co.uk/news/when-party-wall-surveyor monthly 0.5 2022-01-06 https://www.basesixty.co.uk/news/damp monthly 0.5 2022-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61260b956f638d211f91c869/1638195338519-RMPK3WFMJS1HML4YYBLF/unsplash-image-IUuVB1nLsQU.jpg articles - Why is damp so misunderstood? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.basesixty.co.uk/news/blog-post-where-did-we-come-from monthly 0.5 2022-01-06 https://www.basesixty.co.uk/news/tag/boundary monthly 0.5 https://www.basesixty.co.uk/news/tag/ventilation monthly 0.5 https://www.basesixty.co.uk/news/tag/excavation monthly 0.5 https://www.basesixty.co.uk/news/tag/party+wall+surveyor monthly 0.5 https://www.basesixty.co.uk/news/tag/fence+wall monthly 0.5 https://www.basesixty.co.uk/news/tag/party+wall monthly 0.5 https://www.basesixty.co.uk/news/tag/breathability monthly 0.5 https://www.basesixty.co.uk/news/tag/party+structure monthly 0.5 https://www.basesixty.co.uk/news/tag/moisture monthly 0.5 https://www.basesixty.co.uk/news/tag/party+wall+etc+act+1996 monthly 0.5 https://www.basesixty.co.uk/news/tag/damp monthly 0.5 https://www.basesixty.co.uk/about daily 0.75 2023-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61260b956f638d211f91c869/1641483035468-41IY0AFTCKAR1BGYXAY3/unsplash-image-Oja2ty_9ZLM.jpg about - Where we work Typically the building s we survey and projects we work on are located within Greater London, the Home Counties, Bedfordshire, Oxfordshire, and Hampshire, but sometimes further afield.
