Interwar bungalows and postwar brick
Sandringham is a mix of interwar bungalows and postwar brick, much of it on generous blocks close to the bay. Salt air is harder on external fittings and flues here than a few kilometres inland, which is worth factoring in when siting a hot water unit or a boiler.
What the housing stock means for the work
- Corrosion on external units and flues from bay air
- Postwar galvanised water lines still in some unrenovated homes
- Good subfloor access on most bungalows, which keeps costs down
- Stormwater capacity on sloping blocks towards the bay
