Waterloo Building Pathology & Specific Defect Surveys FAQs
For Waterloo (damp or crack diagnosis): Does the Roupell Street statement cover every Waterloo flat?
It describes the historic housing of that named enclave. Another Waterloo building may have a different original use, materials or conversion history. Locate the particular dwelling and obtain its own relevant records before applying the example; for Waterloo chimney stacks, flue ventilation in Waterloo and sulfate salts are tested (Waterloo fee guide: from £650 plus VAT).
For Waterloo (specific defect report): What should a sash repair schedule identify?
It should locate the opening and describe whether the work repaired, reglazed or replaced it. Match that account to the room and elevation. A separate internal decorating invoice should not become the explanation (in Waterloo) for the external joinery project; for Waterloo parapets, coping joints across Waterloo and asphalt upstands are inspected (Waterloo fee guide: from £650 plus VAT).
For Waterloo (pathology inspection): Can the main-roof invoice include a rear addition by assumption?
