What St Giles Hill Properties Need for Guttering

St Giles Hill was built primarily Victorian and Edwardian villas. The dominant roofing material is clay plain tile. The lead work on most St Giles Hill properties is 100–130 years old. Properties on St Giles Hill, Gordon Road, Alresford Road are representative of the typical St Giles Hill housing stock.

The elevated east-facing conditions in St Giles Hill affect how quickly roofing elements deteriorate. Specifically, the complex lead valleys and multiple chimney stacks 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 Giles Hill properties.
