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 damp, the clay soil could force the property upward, damaging the foundations. The HomeBuyer Report or Building Survey in Sevenoaks will report on any evidence of heave or settlement. If these are suspected, a special dip test survey could be recommended.
Properties in Sevenoaks are typically built from interlocking tiles (made of clay) from Belgium and Holland. Chartered surveyors will inspect (access permitting) the possibility of dislodged tiles as repair is a costly specialist job. Roofing Companies do not always have the skills to handle defects with this type of roofing construction as skills are parochial to the area the tiles are sourced. If the Home Survey uncovers any defects, we would advise you get a quote for repair from a local roofing contractor.
