Canary Wharf and Poplar property and Leaking Parapets

The Building Act of 1707 banned projecting wooden eaves as a fire risk. Parapet walls were used as a solution, acting as firewalls help to prevent flames spreading from one building to another. Due to their position they are relatively exposed and suffer from deterioration due to the elements.

Buildings in Canary Wharf and Poplar may suffer leaks as a result of parapets which have been poorly maintained. Because of their exposure on the two sides and on top, parapet walls can suffer serious problems resulting from water penetration.The presence of displacement, cracking and efflorescence may indicate a leaking parapet.

Subsidence - Clay Soil

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 Canary Wharf and Poplar 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.
