What Winnall Properties Need for Lead Work

Winnall was built primarily 1950s–60s. The dominant roofing material is concrete interlocking. The lead work on most Winnall properties is 65–75 years old. Properties on Winnall Manor Road, Easton Lane are representative of the typical Winnall housing stock.

The riverside valley, above-average moisture conditions in Winnall affect how quickly roofing elements deteriorate. Specifically, the Itchen Valley humidity accelerating moss and nail corrosion 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 Winnall properties.
