Aircraft taking off and landing at London Heathrow Airport could cause problems for Walthamstow residents. It is particularly important to book a survey from an independent Chartered Surveyor as agent or lender-tied surveyors may be tempted to gloss over the noise issues. Compensation may be available to those living under the flightpath, including contribution to sound proofing (double, or even triple glazing) or relocation costs. Noise enters through pipes, doors, letterboxes, and cracks in window frames, making appropriate maintenance a necessity. These cavities should be packed out with sound proofing material. Loft insulation is also advised. Total erradication of noise will not be possible however. Contact the Local Authorities Aircraft Noise Council (LAANC) for more information, on: info@laanc.org.uk.

In some parts of the country, including Walthamstow, infestation is rife. Your Chartered Surveyor will confirm that the holes resemble those caused by woodworm, but are larger in radius. The beetle is found in roof structures, damaging timbers and putting residents at risk, and will quickly infest softer woods. Building Regulations now protect timbers, preventing the spread of this insect. Specialised wood treatments are among the solutions available today.
