Brick is the most common form of building material in Berkshire. Brick is great for the environment as it is made and sourced locally in Berkshire. It comes in many forms from new to reclaimed brick and is less costly than is generally perceived. RICS recently conducted research which revealed it to be the most cost effective of all building materials - particularly when you consider its durability. It is highly resistent to weather conditions and can last hundreds of years. Neverthe less, you Berkshire Surveuor will be on the look out for any problems with the brick construction (e.g.spalling and will report these findings in the survey.

Structures built on these clay soils are prone to subsidence and foundation movement. Some clay soils are problematic. If conditions are too wet, the expanding clay soil can effectively 'heave' the property out of the ground! During a Berkshire Home Survey, the Surveyor will remain vigilant for any defects associated with clay soil. Despite these problems, clay soil is a very suitable material for brick manufacture.
Properties in Berkshire are often built from clay tiles with inter locking edges. Surveyors will look closely at problems with the tiles because repair or replacement is very dear. Roofing Contractors don't always know how to handle problems with this type of roofing construction as skills are specialist. If your survey in Mickleover uncovers any defects, we would suggest that you speak to a roofing expert about an estimate for repair.
