Common Building Issues in Haringey

Where a Haringey block shows facade defects, investigation before specification is the cheaper path: across its flatted Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses, 1930s properties, social housing and new-builds the same symptom can have several causes, and diagnosing the right one avoids repairs that do not hold.

Haringey has numerous conservation areas including Noel Park; the council applies Article 4 directions in many residential areas restricting external alterations. For the blocks of flats among Haringey's Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses, 1930s properties, social housing and new-builds, that shapes the repair options an investigation leads to, so we specify solutions acceptable to both the technical brief and the case officer.
