Chimney stacks
Description
Condition
The main stack to the front right hand elevation was shared with
the adjoining property. This was difficult to inspect from my
ground floor inspection due to the height and position of the
roofs and a tree, however, I noted there was some open jointed
brickwork. I could not see the flashings to comment.
To the front left hand side of the main two-storey section was a
brick chimney stack with lead flashings. This chimney stack
was in poor condition with ferns and vegetation growing out of
the mortar joints and the lead flashings appear to be coming
away.

Main roof
construction
Description
The roof space was accessed via a trap in the landing ceiling.
The roof was of traditional type with timber purlins supporting
roof trusses triangulated with ceiling joists. The underside of the
roof had been underdrawn with sarking felt indicating the roof
has been re-covered in the recent past. This also prevented my
inspection of the underside of the tiles and battens and
therefore no further comment in this area can be given.
