Guttering St Cross

How We Carry Out Guttering Work in St Cross

St Cross's Victorian and earlier listed buildings properties present specific guttering requirements. The Listed Building Consent required for most significant work here means guttering work in St Cross follows a slightly different approach to estates without this characteristic. Our Winchester team carries matching materials for St Cross's clay plain tile and natural slate stock and attends St Cross regularly.

What St Cross Properties Need for Guttering

St Cross was built primarily Victorian and earlier listed buildings. The dominant roofing material is clay plain tile and natural slate. The lead work on most St Cross properties is 100–150 years old. Properties on St Cross Road, Sparkford Road are representative of the typical St Cross housing stock.

The Itchen Valley, sheltered conditions in St Cross affect how quickly roofing elements deteriorate. Specifically, the Listed Building Consent required for most significant 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 St Cross properties.
