Button: Missing
Text: Missing sections were noted to the rainwater fittings. These should be reinstated or replaced to restore effective rainwater disposal
Text: Missing sections were noted to the rainwater fittings. These should be reinstated or replaced to restore effective rainwater disposal
Button: Loose
Text: Loose sections were noted to the rainwater fittings. These should be properly secured through repair or replacement to prevent detachment or leakage

Button: Blocked
Text: The fittings are obstructed by debris and vegetation and need to be cleared to prevent blockages and potential overflow

Button: Discharge onto Flat Roof
Text: The downpipe currently discharges directly onto the flat roof, which may cause deterioration of the roof coverings and potential water ingress. This setup should be modified to prevent further damage

Button: UV Affected
Text: The components have suffered from prolonged UV degradation and are now brittle — replacement is recommended

Button: No Rainwater Goods
Text: There are no rainwater goods to the property, which may result in dampness within the building. Suitable rainwater fittings should be installed to direct surface water away from the structure

Button: Poor Replace
Text: The rainwater fittings are in poor condition and should be replaced to ensure effective drainage
Text: The rainwater fittings are in poor condition and should be replaced to ensure effective drainage
Button: Asbestos Replace
Text: Sections of the rainwater fittings appear to contain asbestos and should now be replaced. This presents a potential safety risk. Before any work is undertaken on asbestos-containing materials, a suitable risk assessment must be carried out by a competent person

Button: Leaking Replace
Text: The rainwater fittings are leaking and now require repair or replacement to ensure proper drainage

Button: Finlock Sagging
Text: The concrete rainwater goods show signs of sagging above the window openings. Further investigation should be undertaken by a Chartered Structural Engineer to assess their structural stability

Button: Finlock Lining Not Visible
Text: This type of gutter arrangement is an integral part of the building structure as well as rainwater component. I have not been able to inspect the gutter linings and a close inspection is now needed to determine their condition and structural adequacy

Button: Undersized
Text: The existing rainwater goods appear inadequate for the roof area served and are likely to overflow in heavy rain. Replacement with higher-capacity guttering is recommended to ensure effective rainwater disposal

Button: Not Enough Downpipes
Text: There are insufficient downpipes to adequately drain the guttering at the property, which could result in overflowing during periods of heavy rainfall. Higher-capacity guttering or additional downpipes should be installed to improve rainwater disposal

Button: Poorly Supported
Text: Sections of the rainwater fittings lack adequate support, resulting in misalignment. Additional fixings and realignment are recommended to restore correct falls and stability
