The Rising Damp Myth

Extract from book review of The Rising Damp Myth:

The book is an indispensible read for house sellers, buyers, surveyors, property professionals, construction students. It describes how rising damp' has been promoted as a marketing devise by the chemical damp proof industry and explains the simple steps that every home owner can take to make sure they are not bamboozled by surveyors or ripped off by damp proof companies.'

Book review of Don't Blame the Builder, Channel 4 TV programme:

As one sighed, the other yelped, and Jeff an assumingly nice bloke looked quite frequently like he wanted to slap the lot of them and get down the pub for a brown ale. Sadly you can't do that on TV any more!'
