In order to stabilize the structure and prevent further cracks, the building’s heavy mud roof coating was removed and steel reinforcements were inserted into the structure. The roof was then recoated with the traditional materials of mud and straw. Once this cause of instability and damage had been removed, the cracks of the walls and ceilings were repaired. Rising damp, which has been detrimental to the building’s fabric was rectified with the creation of channels around the house which would direct water away from the walls and foundations.
