Parapets Issues in Greenwich

These walls are usually above the roof line and often sit on the boundary of the property. The parapets are portions of the wall that extend above the roof. Parapet walls were intended to perform as firewalls, preventing flames spreading across rooftops.

Buildings in Greenwich may suffer leaks as a result of parapets which have been poorly maintained. Leaking roofs are often down to the parapet wall, rather than the roof itself.Surveyors will be vigilant for signs of associated cracking, flaking, and displacement potentially caused by leaking parapets. The Building Survey in Greenwich may advise that a PVC flashing 'membrane' should be installed if not present.

Clay Soil in Greenwich

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. Depending on water content, the clay can swell and contract, leading to damage. If any evidence of heave or settlement is suspected, a dip test survey may be recommended by the Greenwich Surveyor.
