House roofs in Stevenage were once commonly built from clay tiles with interlocks and weather bars imported from Belgium. Home Buyers Surveys will detail any issues with the tiles as fixing problems is expensive. Roofing Contractors sometimes lack the skills to handle defects with this type of roofing construction.
Your Surveyor will confirm that properties built on these soils are prone to foundation movement. Being particularly absorbent, some clay soils can create a range of issues for house built on them. Depending on water content, the clay can swell and contract significantly. If any evidence of heave or settlement is suspected, a dip test survey may be recommended by the Stevenage Surveyor.
