House roofs in Berkhamsted are often built from clay tiles with inter locking edges. Surveyors will inspect (access permitting) clay tiles as they can be costly to repair. Roofing Contractors don't always know how to handle problems with this type of roofing construction. In the event that the survey in Alvaston uncovers any defects, we would advise you get a quote for repair from a local roofing contractor.
Clay soil-located houses may be prone to both subsidence and movement of the foundation. Being particularly absorbent, some clay soils can create a range of issues for house built on them. The soil can change form and volume, depending on moisture content, which may damage the home's structure. The HomeBuyer Report or Building Survey in Berkhamsted will report on any evidence of heave or settlement. If these are suspected, a special dip test survey could be recommended.
