Key Structural Defects in The Wirral Properties
1. Maritime Weathering & Coastal Salt Ingress
In West Kirby, Hoylake, and Caldy, driving winds and salt spray degrade exterior render, masonry coatings, and window frame seals.
2. Sandstone Spalling & Lime Mortar Breakdown
Historic sandstone properties in Oxton require breathable lime pointing. Inappropriate cement coatings accelerate face spalling.
