Felling

Felling’s Richmond Terrace shows how neighbouring buildings can share an overall form while differing in roof and rainwater details. For a terrace maintenance programme, inspect each address and the interfaces between them. A repeated appearance from the street is not enough to justify one repair specification throughout.

The historic environment record for Richmond Terrace describes a shop and ten houses, noting variation in dormers, rooflights, bay roofs and guttering. This is a specific recorded example in Felling. It is not a current defect survey or proof of the same condition across other terraces.

For managed adjoining properties, identify which roof or rainwater component belongs to each address and where systems connect. Record later alterations before specifying replacements, and confirm any relevant heritage requirements for the intervention. Coordinate access and notices with all affected occupiers where necessary, keeping the scope explicit so work on one unit does not leave an unresolved interface with the next.
