What Weeke Properties Need for Roof Replacement

Weeke was built primarily Victorian and 1930s. The dominant roofing material is clay plain tile. The lead work on most Weeke properties is 80–100 years old. Properties on Bereweeke Road, Bereweeke Avenue are representative of the typical Weeke housing stock.

The inner suburb, moderate conditions in Weeke affect how quickly roofing elements deteriorate. Specifically, the century-age lead and carbonated ridge mortar 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 Weeke properties.
