<p>Following our recent site visit tot he above site please see below our findings and recommendations as listed. There is evidence of movement in the rear stairwell in several locations. Our visual survey would indicate that there may well be more than one contributory factor. Firstly the rainwater downpipes and guttering to this area are completely blocked with vegetation&nbsp;sprouting from the guttering, this is causing the accumulated rainwater to overspill the guttering and soak into the ground this over a period of time will cause ground movement. Further to this the conifer trees adjacent to the building which are of a height of some 15mtrs plus without the benefit of a barrier may well also be a cause for concern. We would make the following recommendations.&nbsp;</p><p>Firstly a further intrusive survey to be carried out to establish fully the cause and containment of distribution of the rainwater. Secondly to investigate the extent of the tree root system from the conifer tree previously mentioned. Thirdly as a matter of some urgency the clearing of all the onsite guttering and downpipes to prevent further damage to the building, a quotation for which is submitted under separate cover.&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Operatives to apply protective sheeting to work routes and working areas.</li><li>To supply to site specialist&nbsp;articulated access boom.&nbsp;</li><li>To clear all guttering and downpipes from accessible elevations and ensure good working watertight function.</li><li>To clear all debris from site.&nbsp;</li><li>Site to be left clean and tidy.</li></ul><p>Our total cost to carry out the above works in&nbsp;normal working hours shall be &pound;12, 073.00</p><p>Breakdown:</p><p>Labour: &pound;5,600.00</p><p>Materials: &pound;173.00</p><p>Plant &amp; Access Equipment: &pound;6,120.00</p><p>Waste: &pound;180.00</p>
