Renovating a Terraced Victorian House

Featured Replies

Hi there,

 

I'm planning the renovation of a terraced Victorian house in London and looking for some advice along the way.  All help gratefully appreciated!

 

My first question relates to plumbing.  I guess I should find the right area of the forum and post it there?

 

Thanks!
Nik

Welcome.

The good news is there are thousands of these to almost standard design.

And that most are still there.

 

First question to you is whether the chimney breasts have been removed. And try to find out if the neighbour's has been removed. There were probably 2 on each floor (count chimney pots).

Second. Can you see the air bricks at front and back?

 

You'll get plenty of sensible advice here. Let the questions roll.

Thanks very much!   No chimney breasts remain, sadly...  I'll check for air bricks!

Heading over to the plumbing section now...
