type
there is masonry to the multiple-flue chimney. some of the flues serve other dwellings.
front
there are open chimney pots visible. this could result in rainwater penetration, causing damp patches to
appear within the building. birds can also become trapped in disused flues. it is therefore recommended
that redundant flues are fitted with capping vents and that flues serving appliances are fitted with cowls,
subject to the appropriate specialist advice as mentioned under the heading of ‘services’.
there are lead flashings around the chimney that require repointing. an allowance will need to be made
for renewing any defective flashings. this will help prevent damage internally and rot to roofing timbers.
this work may require the erection of scaffolding and should be carried out by an appropriately
experienced contractor.
left elevation
to the left elevation we observed similar defects with the chimney as detailed above.
e2 roof coverings
there is a roof covering of lapped concrete tiles.
the roof covering is slightly vegetated with moss. this needs to be cleaned off occasionally, to prevent it
from accumulating and then falling into the rainwater gutters, causing blockages to occur. it also affects
the aesthetic appearance of the building. this work should not be necessary more often than
approximately every 10 years or so.
property address
we observed perished bedding mortar to joints to the hip tiles. repointing the joints is often not an
adequate repair, as the bedding beneath the tiles has normally perished. we therefore recommend that
you have the hip tiles re-bedded in fresh mortar. the old mortar will require removing from beneath the
tiles prior to re-bedding.
there are slipped tiles. it is possible to re-fix these and this should be done to help prevent rainwater
penetration and rot to the roofing timbers. an allowance should therefore be made for implementing this
work.
the lead flashing to the lean-to requires re-filleting with mortar to help prevent it from falling out. flashings
are important to help prevent damp penetration internally and rot to roofing timbers.
a material by the trade name of flashband has been used for roof flashing to join the left hand garage
extension. this type of material is considered to be substandard and it could soon fail. the roof could be
leaking for some time before being noticed and damage could occur. we therefore recommend that you
plan to have the flashband replaced with a more durable material, such as lead.
the mortar verge to the gable end requires repointing. the old mortar should be chopped out and
replaced, to help prevent rainwater penetration internally and rot to the roofing timbers. the undercloaking
appears to be of asbestos cement and, therefore, any work to this part of the property should be
carried out by a contractor who is qualified in working with asbestos.
again, to the left elevation, the condition of the roof was found to be similar as detailed above, and the
same advice applies.
rear elevation
to the rear elevation, the roof was found to be in a very poor condition, with a good number of slipped and
broken tiles and perished bedding mortar to the ridge and hip. the roof will require some urgent repairs
by a reputable roofing contractor and we recommend that you obtain quotes for work as necessary.
there is a missing hip iron to the rear. this should be replaced during other works to the roof to prevent
movement to the hip tiles.
there is a felt roof covering to the rear part of the garage roof. the roof covering is in a very poor
condition and substandard materials have been used as flashing and edging. there is a significant
covering of moss. the roof will require a complete overhaul by a reputable contractor and we recommend
that you obtain quotations for this and have the work implemented as soon as possible.
