Given our expertise in PRC repairs, we would like to provide some historical context to the work we do as a PRC repair company in the Reading area. By reading this, hopefully you will better understand the necessity of our Cornish house PRC repairs, Reema house PRC repairs, Unity house PRC repairs and related services.
Through the use of materials like aluminium, steel, and wooden frames, post-war temporary prefab houses could be built more quickly than most other forms of housing. However, as time has passed, this has become a weakness of these properties. After all, they were only meant to last up to 10 years, so many quality standards were disregarded in order to meet the housing demands of the time. This is why concrete pumping and PRC upgrade solutions are necessary.
Another factor that threatens the preservation of prefab houses is the quality of metal production at the time. Although the standards were consistent across the British steel-making industry, the overall quality pales compared to modern standards. Thus, PCR repairs are needed to fix deteriorating steel frames in these properties. In particular, the area around the footings of the structure of a prefab house can suffer from rust or rot, as in the case of a wooden house. A qualified building surveyor can determine the structural strength of the footings to determine if work needs to be done on your property.
A vital safety issue that a building surveyor can inspect for in a PRC property is the use of asbestos in the original construction of the structure, especially the roof. In the years following their construction, asbestos has proved to be a harmful material to humans and it’s important to have it safely removed from your property by a qualified specialist.
The last problem regarding the preservation of prefab houses is related to their design and style. Compared to modern construction standards, building regulations for these houses restricted the size of rooms and gardens. When bringing these properties up to modern standards, redevelopment work needs to be done as mass prefab sites rather than as individual houses.
