This ground floor property is part of a tenement block in the Rosemount area of Aberdeen found to be suffering from wet rot in the main section of the room, and dry rot around the floor and sub floor areas.
The cause of this outbreak was due to the lead box gutters having perished over time, and which have now been repaired.
The traditional plaster, lath and framing was stripped back, then the flooring and joists cut back and disposed off. The solum area was cleaned out and the whole area was treated with a biocide solution.
New joists were then bolted, then the fitting of new tongue and grooved floorboards. A membrane was fitted to the walls prior to it being reframed and sheeted with plasterboard then finished off with a skim coat of plaster.
