Points of interest and concerns found during Purley Home Buyers Surveys include:

Leaks around Parapets for homes in Purley

Parapet walls are usually above the roof line and often sit on the boundary of the property. They are relatively exposed and regularly suffer from deterioration due to the elements.

Buildings in Purley 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.Resulting problems include:

  • Cracking
  • Efflorescence
  • Spalling
  • Displacement
In such cases, it is recommended that a PVC flashing 'membrane' should be installed if not present.

Dampness in Purley Cellars

The basements or cellars of properties in and around Purley risk problems associated with damp. Such structures are often not sealed properly against damp.Issues including a musty odour or damp smell, mould, efflorescence, and spalling will be identified by a Building Surveyor during the Property Survey in Purley.The Surveyor in Purley will establish the cause of the damp, which may include ground water, overflowing or insufficient guttering, or detached downspouts.

Portland Stone

This stone is used extensively as a building material in properties in Purley. The stone even occurs in Roman-era structures. Your Building Survey or HomeBuyer Report in Purley will address the impact of any rendering on the stone. If a non-breathable render is used, such as cement, then water which finds its way behind the render cannot escape and must be drawn up the wall to evaporate. Any suspicion of render-related moisture damage should be addressed to the Purley Surveyor.
