Questions on the house
Where can I get these door knobs? How is this piece of wood made? What sort of plaster coving would suit my Edwardian house? Can I escape VAT on work on my listed building?
Questions, questions, questions. We love them. They tell us what period house owners need to know. They are challenging and pleasing to solve. Sometimes, however, they have us stumped.
Now, with the new Bricks & Brass web forum the owners of period houses can ask questions and draw on the help of other period house experts.
House owners in the US have many web sites offering help. In the
UK, only Bricks & Brass can support its forum with such a huge
quantity of online information.
Bricks & Brass tells you about the original style of doors, paper and paint, windows, brickwork and roofing. The DIY section has answers to many questions, for example on damp and pointing. Look for products and services in the directory. The site complements magazines with their inspirational pictures, and books with their specialist detail.
