Common facade issues in Stoke Newington include damp in Victorian solid-wall terraces, settlement in Georgian terrace foundations, dry rot in older conversion properties and the effects of Victorian terraces and independent character on the external envelope.

Common Building Issues in Stoke Newington

A facade investigation on Stoke Newington's flatted stock establishes the external wall build-up that an EWS1 or a FRAEW then relies on; for the blocks of flats among its Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses, Georgian houses and converted flats we open up in proportion to what the records cannot already tell us.

Planning and Conservation in Stoke Newington

Stoke Newington Conservation Area with Georgian and Victorian listed buildings; Hackney Council applies strict controls on Church Street and the surrounding conservation area. We raise this at investigation stage on Stoke Newington instructions, because a facade repair scoped without the consent position risks a redesign once the design controls are applied.
