This variety means properties can have different potential issues depending on their age and construction method.

In older Victorian and Edwardian terraced properties, we frequently find evidence of past subsidence or movement, often related to historical mining activity in the South Wales valleys. Roof coverings on period properties are another common area of concern, with original slate tiles often reaching the end of their lifespan.
For post-war semi-detached properties built during the mid-20th century, we commonly see issues with concrete construction elements that can deteriorate over time. These might include concrete roof tiles showing signs of degradation or internal concrete elements showing signs of carbonation. Modern properties, while generally built to higher standards, can still have issues with build quality, insulation installation, and Windows that may not meet current efficiency standards.
