What Stanmore Properties Need for Roof Replacement

Stanmore was built primarily 1955–1975. The dominant roofing material is concrete interlocking. The lead work on most Stanmore properties is 60–70 years old. Properties on Stanmore Lane, Test Lane, Brownhill Road are representative of the typical Stanmore housing stock.

The south-western Winchester, moderate conditions in Stanmore affect how quickly roofing elements deteriorate. Specifically, the nail sickness on 50–70 year old concrete roofs 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 Stanmore properties.
