Tell me about the inspection of arches and land in Chipstead
The site consisted of open storage land with land under an open arch and an enclised arch. I inspected the internal condition of the arches and reported to the client that the arch was suitable for covered storage. I found there were no services and the land was not hard surfaced
What value significant features did you note
“Located in Chipstead Surrey
Dimensions- 6,368 sq ft total
access- just off Outwood Lane on Castle Road
railway arch and land
Gated, perimter fencing, 10m arch heights”
Tell me what potential problems you noted
The perimeter fencing had metal sheeting hanging off and the enclosed arch was damp
“Tell me how you determined the arches and land was suitable for covered
storage”
As the arch was damp we determined the arch was only suitable for light storage items
“You noted no services at the arches - what effect did this have on your
final report to the client”
