Button: Detached Bungalow
Text: The subject property is a detached bungalow

Button: South
Text: The front of the property faces approximately south

Button: Suburban Residential
Text: The property is situated in a suburban area, with the surrounding properties predominantly residential in nature

Button: Flood Risk
Text: The property is situated near an area identified by the Environment Agency as being at risk of flooding; however, I am not aware of any flooding in recent years

Button: Radon
Text: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. According to UK Radon data, certain properties in this area have recorded radon levels above the recommended safety threshold

Button: EPC Consistent
Text: The details recorded in the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) align with the observations made during my visit

Button: Brick
Text: The property has a chimney built in brick

Button: No DPC
Text: Chimneys of this age are unlikely to have a damp-proof course, creating a risk of rain penetration. Ongoing maintenance is required to limit this risk

Button: Entirety Not Seen
Text: The chimney could not be viewed in its entirety, so there remains a possibility of concealed defects. Without full access and inspection, unforeseen and potentially costly repairs cannot be ruled out. My comments are based solely on the visible parts of the structure at the time of inspection

Button: Sloping Roof - Slates
Text: The sloping roof is finished with slate coverings

Button: Main Roof Replaced Check Consents
Text: The main roof coverings have been renewed. You should ensure that the replacement works comply with any relevant Local Authority consents or Building Regulations

Button: Entirety Not Seen
Text: Full inspection of the roof was not possible, and concealed defects may exist. As such, there remains a risk of unforeseen and potentially expensive repairs. My comments are based only on the sections that were visible at the time of inspection

Button: Vegetation to Valley
Text: Vegetation growth has developed within the valley gutter, restricting water flow and increasing the risk of blockages and overflow. The gutter should be cleared to maintain effective drainage

Button: Roof Eaves Not Extended
Text: The eaves roof coverings do not extend far enough into the guttering, resulting in inadequate rainwater discharge. Modifications are recommended to improve water runoff, and the roof timbers at eaves level should be inspected for any evidence of decay

Button: Estimated Cost
Text: I estimate the cost for the above Roofing works to be approximately:

Button: £2500-£5000
Text: £2500-£5000

Button: Chimney Extensive Repairs - Front
