There's no mention of underpinning.

It's probably settled now anyway it's the fact it was built using concrete without andy reinforcing steel in the concrete to give it strength. I though I'd read it was just concrete sheet shuttered when built so no integrated reinforcement. If it was build today it'd have steel reinforcing inside the concrete.

So without the steel I would have though it'll just crack again probably where there were no cracks before.

Sadly the blog for the redevelopment died a death last July.


But the main fencing has now come down as they're landscaping and wow, the house looks amazing. It's so lovely to see it restored to its former glory. I do hope that there will be a chance for interested locals to have a look before it gets sold on. Well done colin.s if you're still involved!

It's not being demolished! It's being renovated by Hexagon housing association. The building will be conserved and turned into flats. About time too! It's been in a state of terminal decline for over 20 years. I'm glad it's finally being turned into homes, whilst preserving it historic features.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
