Repairs to Houses
Considerable work has been carried out by the Sanitary
Inspectors during the year in connection with repairs to houses.
As the result of their efforts, repairs were carried out to 536 houses.
Of these, the repairs to 202 houses were of a major character,
including such matters as the provision of damp-proof courses,
extensive rendering of walls to remedy dampness, provision of
site concrete, under-pinning of walls, renewal of eaves, gutters
and rainwater pipes, renewal or extensive repair of flooring,
renewal of windows, extensive renewal of wall and cciling plaster,
and renewal of external paintwork.
At the remaining 334 houses, the repairs were not of such an
extensive nature but were necessary to abate specific nuisances.
