Facade Investigations in Seven Sisters

Facade Investigations across Seven Sisters

Building facades across Seven Sisters are subject to weathering, material degradation, structural movement and fire safety concerns. Our facade investigation team provides detailed assessment of external wall systems to inform maintenance, remediation and safety decisions. Getting the investigation right first time avoids wasted expenditure on the wrong repairs.

We investigate facade defects and performance issues across Seven Sisters, covering all external wall types from traditional masonry to modern curtain walling and rainscreen cladding systems. Common facade issues in Seven Sisters include damp in Victorian solid-wall terraces, structural cracking in post-war social housing on London clay, defective flat roofs on 1960s–70s estate blocks and the effects of Victorian terraces and high street regeneration on the external envelope.

Common Building Issues in Seven Sisters

For the blocks of flats among Seven Sisters' Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses, social housing estates and converted flats, a facade investigation makes opening-up good part of the brief and records findings future duty holders can rely on, so the same wall is not re-investigated at each ownership change.

Planning and Conservation in Seven Sisters

Seven Sisters is within Haringey; the council has conservation area designations at Noel Park and applies Article 4 directions in residential areas; town centre regeneration is ongoing. We raise this at investigation stage on Seven Sisters instructions, because a facade repair scoped without the consent position risks a redesign once the design controls are applied.
