House surveys in Wiltshire

Wiltshire's housing ranges from Bath stone weavers' cottages in the west and chalk, flint and thatch in the Vale of Pewsey and around Salisbury, to the railway town of Swindon with its Victorian terraces and large post-war and modern estates. Clay soils across the north of the county can cause subsidence, and many towns sit on rivers prone to flooding. Old stone homes need breathable lime repairs, and a high number of market town buildings are listed or in conservation areas.
