Flooding is a major problem for many people in the United Kingdom, posing a risk to health and safety and causing widespread damage to property. Damage to buildings can range from minor effects on walls, floors, basements and services to serious structural damage to buildings.
You can now download CIRIA’s publication Standards for the repair of buildings following flooding (C623) FREE from http://www.ciria.org/downloads.htm. This detailed guide covers the repair of common types of domestic buildings in the UK, including masonry construction, framed construction, solid and suspended floors, fenestration, basements, fixtures and fittings and services.
The guide is written primarily for building professionals or insurers who deal with flood damage and repair, but may also be useful to builders, surveyors and householders in commissioning repair work. The guide was written by BRE under contract to CIRIA.
You can also buy a hard copy of this report at the specially reduced price of £40 until the end of August 2007.
