OT: Bellrock (gyprock) construction

Mar 02, 2023 Last reply: 3 years ago 5 Replies

Obviously not a DIY task, but I wondered about a non-standard construction method known (locally at least) as Bellrock, which I understand consists of gypsum plaster panels. It seems mortgages are not available on such properties. What is am wondering is whether - short of demolition - there is a recognised and approved method of remedying such properties.


my perents bought a bellrock Lawrence house in Paisley in

1959....never had a problem selling it in 2012

I guess the full version of this BRE book might be useful

it is according to Google search, but you can only see the first few pages (of an expensive book).

It seems to be PO19 but I expect this book will be an expensive purchase for a few paragraphs I may not understand. I'll read the preface though.
