* Materials & Skills for Historic Building Conservation
The series aims to introduce each aspect of conservation and to
provide concise, basic and up-to-date knowledge for architects,
surveyors and engineers as well as for commissioning client bodies,
managers and advisors.
In each book, Michael Forsyth draws together chapters by leading
architects, structural engineers and related professionals to
reflect the interdisciplinary nature of conservation work. The
books are structured to be of direct practical application, taking
the reader through the process of historic building conservation
and emphasising throughout the integrative teamwork involved.
The present volume - Materials & Skills for Historic
Building Conservation - describes the characteristics and
process of decay of traditional materials which inform the
selection of appropriate repair techniques.
It provides essential information on the properties of the
principal traditional external building materials. Their
availability, sourcing and environmental impact is covered, as well
as the causes of erosion and decay, and the skills required for
their application on conservation projects.
It covers the main most commonly used materials and conservation
techniques including stone, brickwork, lime products, concrete,
iron and steel, timber, wattle and daub, and glass,

"It is well illustrated in colour, which is an
achievement, given that many publishers are reluctant to do this.
It is available from Internet booksellers at under £50, which
represents good value for money for a specialist book."
(Construction Management and Economics, 1 January 2010)
"A core text for students, as it does give a valuable and concise
insight ... .Technical and informative material." (Journal
of Building Appraisal, Spring 2008)
"There are some excellent things in these volumes ... Geoff
Wallis and Mike Bussell give a very good short summary of the
technological developments of iron and steel, which I have not seen
bettered elsewhere." (Context, September 2008)
