Woodside evidence: an adapted house beside a purpose-built block (Wimbledon Building Pathology)
Wimbledon's building stock of premium Victorian and Edwardian village character presents a wide (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) range of pathological challenges; during Wimbledon masonry surveys, mortar porosity across Wimbledon is logged photographically; during Wimbledon masonry surveys, mortar porosity across Wimbledon is logged photographically. Our building pathology team investigates (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) the causes of building defects (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) across Wimbledon.
Common defects we investigate in Wimbledon include subsidence in large Victorian and Edwardian villas (in Wimbledon) on shrinkable London clay, damp (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) in solid brick Victorian properties, deterioration of original decorative joinery and rainwater goods in conservation area properties; where Wimbledon flank walls craze, hammer-testing (in Wimbledon) in Wimbledon maps delaminated render; where Wimbledon flank walls craze, hammer-testing in Wimbledon maps delaminated render. Systematic investigation of damp problems (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) in Wimbledon properties, distinguishing between rising damp, (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) penetrating damp and condensation to (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) ensure the correct remedy is (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) applied.

Assessment of cracking and structural (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) movement in buildings across Wimbledon, determining whether movement is historic (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) and stable or progressive and (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) requiring intervention; in Wimbledon conversions, sub-floor airbricks across Wimbledon are checked for bridging.

Connect a block flat to its own covering and works records (Wimbledon Building Pathology)
The local condition issues described (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) elsewhere on this page recurring (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) across Wimbledon's stock are the kind of (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) defect pattern that rewards a (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) proper pathology investigation over a (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) quick opinion: the difference between (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) a cosmetic crack and a (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) structural one, or between rising (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) damp and a failed detail, (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) changes the entire remedial strategy; across Wimbledon extensions, abutment step-flashings in Wimbledon and movement joints are examined. Wimbledon Village Conservation Area; Wimbledon Common is designated as an SSSI and Metropolitan Open Land; Merton Council applies strict controls in the conservation area and has Article 4 (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) directions in residential streets; across Wimbledon extensions, abutment step-flashings in Wimbledon and movement joints are examined.
We factor this into Wimbledon pathology reports where relevant: a (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) defect mechanism that would normally (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) point to a straightforward modern (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) repair may need a different, (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) consent-compatible specification on a (in Wimbledon) (in Wimbledon) protected building; on Wimbledon pathology instructions, dew-point loggers in Wimbledon track relative humidity. Our surveyors cover Wimbledon and the surrounding Merton area; on Wimbledon pathology instructions, dew-point loggers (in Wimbledon) in Wimbledon track relative humidity.
