Houses in Buckinghamshire can be made from interlocking clay tiles from Belgium. Weather Bars on these tiles offer some protection from water penetration. However many Clay tiles are old and thus prone to failure. Home surveyors will emphasise evidence of damp resulting from damaged tiles replacement tiles are hard to find. Roofers frequently don't have trained staff to remedy problems with clay tile roofs.
Property in the area often included witchert in construction. Witchert is also sometimes spelt 'Wychert'. It consists of decayed Portland limestone and clay mixed with water and straw. Complete re-rendering may be needed, creating further issues if a non-breathable render such as cement is used. Serious dampness and moisture problems may result, and the cement render would need to be removed and replaced.
Structures built on these clay soils are prone to subsidence and foundation movement. Clay soil can be a concern if a home is built on it. If conditions are too wet, the expanding clay soil can effectively 'heave' the property out of the ground! During the Home Buyers Survey in Buckinghamshire, your Chartered Surveyor will be on the look out for cracks and other evidence of heave or settlement. If these are suspected, a special dip test survey might be advised, which essentially requires digging up the garden0
