<p>Upon our attendance to review the water damage experienced at the above stated address, we have identified several areas that require remedial works to prevent further leaks and make good the water damage. Furthermore we believe that an element of damp is still present. Given the extensive water damage we propose to undertake the following remedial works:&nbsp;</p><p><strong>1. Leak Remedial works:</strong></p><p><strong>A)&nbsp;</strong>Upon the inspection of the area at the back of the branch, we have identified that the floor slab is at an incline causing rain water to flow toward the rear of the fire exit elevation, likely allowing water to seep through the brickwork over time. A good indicator of this aspect is the damage seen to underside of the fire exit escape.&nbsp;</p><p>To alleviate this issue we propose to build the necessary&nbsp;channels to drain the water away from the area.&nbsp;</p><p>1. Excavate along the fire exit elevation to create opening to accommodate a drainage channel.</p><p>2. Supply and fit Acco drain and grate in the aforementioned&nbsp;channel&nbsp;</p><p>3. Excavate and create pea shingle soakaway</p><p>4. Route Acco drain into soakaway</p><p>5. Dispose of excavated waste away from site</p><p>Our total cost to undertake the above job in working hours&nbsp;shall be: &pound;2,690.00</p><p>Labour: &pound;1,680.00</p><p>Materials: &pound;800.00</p><p>Plant &amp; Hire: &pound;110.00</p><p>Waste Disposal: &pound;100.00</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>B)&nbsp;</strong>Upon inspection of all external elevations we have noticed a parapet wall to the elevation hosting the internal staircase. On the internal staircase we have noted considerable water damage to the internal wall. This is an indicator that the seal on the flat roof has deteriorated and/or the flashing abutted&nbsp;to the parapet wall has given way and is allowing water to penetrate through to the internal wall.&nbsp;</p><p>To alleviate this issue we propose to seal the flat roof above and abutments to the parapet wall. However this aspect is subject to survey since access to the roof could not be gained during our visit. A return visit is required with access equipment. To undertake the survey the following are required:</p><p>1. Scaffold tower to be erected by IPAF certified operative</p><p>2. Inspection of flat roof and parapet wall.</p><p>Our total cost to undertake the above job in working hours&nbsp;shall be: &pound;260.00&nbsp;</p><p>Labour: &pound;140.00</p><p>Access Equipment: &pound;120.00</p><p><strong>C)&nbsp;</strong>A third area was discovered to be in need of leak remedial works.
