1 Preliminaries

This Schedule records the condition of the property at the time of inspection but does not state the cause of defect or prescribed remedies as this is

beyond the scope of a Schedule of Condition.

The property was inspected on 1st October 2014 by Shaun Collins BSc (Hons) MRICS of Underwoods LLP. Weather at the time of survey was Dry

and Sunny. The building was unoccupied.

The Schedule of Condition is to be read in conjunction with the accompanying portfolio of photographs particularly where cross reference is made to

these photographs.

Covered, unexposed or inaccessible parts of the building structure have not been inspected and therefore not included within this Schedule. Floor

and ceiling voids were not inspected.

A detailed inspection of the existing services has not been undertaken as part of this Schedule and therefore are excluded from the contents of this

Schedule.

Where directions are given in the Schedule i.e. left or right, these are given as if facing the element so described.

Where elements such as windows or doors are numbered, these are given left to right with the extreme left hand element numbered 1.

All dimensions mentioned in the Schedule are of an approximate nature and should be taken as a guide to their position size etc of items only.

For the purposes of this Schedule it has been assumed the front elevation faces East. References to various items maybe given by points of the

compass.

2 Property Description

The property comprises a 19th

century two storey building laid out as offices. The property is constructed of ironstone with a limestione feature

banding, the property appears to have been constructed in two stages, with the original bulding to the left hand side, and a later extension to the right

in the same style construction. the rear section of the right hand side is of brickwork masonry, with only the front and side elevations matching the

original construction.

The property was greatly extended over time, and a community hall/sports hall was added to the rear, this was demolished circa 2010, and the

openings between the two structures infilled with concrete blockwork to leave the property secure.

Original building constructed in stone with pitched slated roofs, internally plastered finishes. Original windows throughout.

1.0 EXTERNALS

1.1. Front Elevation

1.1.1

Front elevation right hand

section of building

The right hand section of the building

comprises of an iron stone solid

masonry wall with limestone banding,

limestone window surrounds window

heads and window sills.

The sandstone and ironstone structure of the

building is sound with minor areas of pointing

erosion.

1, 2, 3, 4

The windows to the ground floor areas

are boarded up with sterling board and

are of timber construction. The first

floor windows are of UPVC double

glazed units.

The windows to the ground floor area have all

been vandalised and smashed, these have

been protected in the interim period by sterling

board. As the underlying external face of the

timberwork was unable to be viewed therefore

we would identify this area of these windows as

being in poor condition.

4

There is a cast iron downpipe to the left

hand side which was decorated

although was in poor condition.

The cast iron rainwater downpipes are generally

in poor condition with splits joints and bracketry,

the downpipes appear to be blocked due to the

amount of vegetation within them, furthermore

the drainage outlets are somewhat choked with

debris and soil.

7, 8 and 9

The Drill Hall, High Street, Wellingborough

5 BS1715

ITEM LOCATION & ELEMENT DESCRIPTION CONDITION PHOTOS

There is a small masonry dwarf wall to

the right hand side of the structure

which is enclosing upon the boundary

wall of the property.

The limestone banding to the left hand side of

the front elevation is suffering from excessive

erosion with apparent loose stones at high level

and extensively weathered corbel detailing to

the left hand corner of the building.

9

The first floor windows are generally in

fair condition and there are no signs of

obvious defect from external inspection.

6

1.1.2 Single Storey Link

Building

A single storey link building constructed

of brickwork masonry between the

original Drill Hall to the left hand section

and a later addition to the right. This

area of the property has a flat roof of

unidentified construction at present,

with an external rainwater downpipe

discharging to the front, there is an

opening for a window within the area

which has been boarded with sterling

board.

The masonry at high level is excessively stained

with efflorescent salt and water stainage,

believed to be penetrating from the flat roof

behind.

10 & 11

The rainwater downpipe is in poor decorative

order and again was discharging into a choked

outlet.11 & 12

1.1.3 Front elevation left hand

side of the building

The left hand section of the building

comprises of an iron stone solid

masonry wall with limestone banding,

limestone window surrounds window

heads and window sills.

The pointing and weathering of the sandstone

limestone elements of the structure are

extremely poor, a number of loose limestone

blocks are identifiable on the front elevation

namely adjacent to the door entrance.

17, 19 & 20

6 BS1715

ITEM LOCATION & ELEMENT DESCRIPTION CONDITION PHOTOS

The windows to the ground and first

floor areas are boarded up with sterling

board and are of timber construction.

The first floor windows are of UPVC

double glazed units.

The timber front entrance door is suffering from

degradation of the decorations, and is missing

the lead capping to the head of the door. 15, 16 and 17

There is a cast iron downpipe to the

right hand side which was decorated

although was in poor condition.

The timber windows are generally in poor

condition throughout having had to be boarded

due to vandalism. A number of windows remain

in an unboarded state and are generally in

sound condition although decorations are poor.

18, 22, 23 and 24

There is a small masonry dwarf wall to

the right hand side of the structure

which is enclosing upon the boundary

wall of the property.

There are a number of hairline cracks to the bay

window indicating historic movement to the

property. 24, 27 & 29

The timber used detail is in poor condition

having last been redecorated some time ago. 25, 26 & 28

1.1.4 Left hand side elevation The left hand elevation is made up of

ironstone and limestone banding with

cast iron rainwater downpipe to the

centre section of the area, there are 2

no. UPVC windows fitted within the left

hand section of the elevation which

serve the wcs to the ground floor areas.

The ironstone and limestone sections of the

building are suffering from extensive weather

erosion, wearing away the masonry significantly

although the pointing appears to be holding up.31, 32, 33 & 36

The rainwater downpipe is damaged and does

not connect the building to the ground floor

level. The outside downpipe is cracked

damaged joints are leaking and is incomplete.

34 & 35

7 BS1715

ITEM LOCATION & ELEMENT DESCRIPTION CONDITION PHOTOS

The windows to the rear of the property are a

later addition, evident by the concrete lintel

supporting the masonry above. The windows

themselves have been boarded over in order to

protect them against damage.

The structure appears to be somewhat exposed

to the elements as the location of where the

rear structure has been demolished in the past. 40

1.1.5 Rear Elevation Rear elevation of ironstone banding

with intermittent limestone banding to

the rear, a low level section of dense

concrete blockwork infill at the site of

the previous structure's demolition. The

left hand side of the structure is a

masonry built later addition which

appears in poor condition.

The ironstone and limestone banding to the

property appear in good condition, with little

identifiable pointing erosion with the exception

of a small patch to the limestone band to the

right of the right hand side window. 45

Access to closely inspect these areas

was unavailable due to the overgrowth

of vegetation to the rear.

Close access to the masonry built section of the

property was unavailable however from distance

it was clear that the pointing to the masonry

brickwork was somewhat eroded and therefore

in a fair to poor condition, the windows to the

rear section of the building are of UPVC

construction and generally have been damaged

or boarded up.

The timber windows to the original section of the

building have all been boarded up as they have

all been vandalised in the past.47 & 48

The timber eaves detailing of the property is

heavily worn and soiled and generally in poor

condition.45 & 47

8 BS1715

ITEM LOCATION & ELEMENT DESCRIPTION CONDITION PHOTOS

Where the previous property was demolished

the openings have been infilled with dense

concrete blockwork walls, these openings are in

generally fair condition and functional for their

use.

1.1.6 Roofs The property generally comprises of

pitch slate roofs of varying directional

pitches.

The roofs are generally in good order on the

whole however there is 1 no. significant hole to

the rear of the original structure which is

allowing water, pigeons and various debris into

the property, this has had the effect of

collapsing internal ceilings as identified later in

the report.

1, 2, 41 & 48

There is a small flat roof to the top of

the bay window to the front elevation

and to the link building between the

original structure and the later addition.

There are isolated areas where vegetation is

growing out of the roof itself, this will

undoubtedly be having a significant effect on

the underlying weather tightness of the property.2
