What Harestock Properties Need for Flat Roofing GRP

Harestock was built primarily 1970s–80s. The dominant roofing material is concrete interlocking. The lead work on most Harestock properties is 45–55 years old. Properties on Harestock Road, Andover Road North are representative of the typical Harestock housing stock.

The elevated chalk, above-average wind conditions in Harestock affect how quickly roofing elements deteriorate. Specifically, the chalk plateau wind accelerating ridge tile failure 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 Harestock properties.
