As opposed to the high quality buildings being built now?

Well, building regs have come on somewhat in the last 150 years.

Fwiw, I'm not suggesting that it isn't preferable to use period correct materials, I'm just suggesting that it isn't always that practical and may not be the highest priority.

But as I'm wrong on a number of levels, I'll keep quiet now.

I understand that it's the internet and all but are your opinions based on a bit of DIY?

ChasnotRobert in reply to @Currid

all my opinions on what? clay soils and subsidence? building regs? something else?

I'm not an expert and I'm not pretending to be one. Apologies if have inadvertently come across as a self proclaimed expert.

I know it's the internet but tbf, you haven't been very clear on what I'm wrong on a number of levels about.

Edit - having read back, yes that was rather a sweeping statement I made about Victorian construction methods; my bad I guess.
