Common Building Issues in Lewisham

Subsidence in Victorian and Edwardian terraces on shrinkable London clay, damp in solid brick walls, deterioration of original slate roofing common in Lewisham property are exactly the kind of finding that, left out of the requirements, generates disputed variations later; our employer's agent role includes making sure they're properly reflected before contract execution.

Planning and Conservation in Lewisham

Lewisham has several conservation areas; the council is managing significant regeneration pressure around Lewisham town centre; Blackheath Conservation Area borders the area to the north. For Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses, 1930s properties and new-build apartments in this part of Lewisham, that constraint often means the requirements document needs to specify consent-compatible materials and methods, not leave the contractor to discover the restriction mid-build.
