What Fulflood Properties Need for Lead Work

Fulflood was built primarily Victorian terraces and 1930s semis. The dominant roofing material is clay plain tile. The lead work on most Fulflood properties is 80–120 years old. Properties on Stockbridge Road, Monks Road are representative of the typical Fulflood housing stock.

The inner suburb, moderate conditions in Fulflood affect how quickly roofing elements deteriorate. Specifically, the lead replacement cycle on Victorian stock 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 Fulflood properties.
