What Hyde Properties Need for Chimney Repairs

Hyde was built primarily Victorian and Edwardian. The dominant roofing material is clay plain tile. The lead work on most Hyde properties is 100–130 years old. Properties on Hyde Street, Worthy Road, Jewry Street are representative of the typical Hyde housing stock.

The inner city, sheltered conditions in Hyde affect how quickly roofing elements deteriorate. Specifically, the conservation area requirements and century-age lead work creates maintenance requirements that differ from Winchester estates in more sheltered or drier positions. We account for this in both the specification and the survey schedule we recommend for Hyde properties.
