RAG guidance

This RAG (Red, Amber, Green) guidance follows UK RICS best practice for condition reporting. Each observation is given a colour according to its seriousness and the urgency of the action required. Highlights are advisory items that fall outside the RAG scale and are counted separately.

Colour	Rating	Meaning
	Red	Serious defect requiring urgent attention: a critical safety, structural or compliance risk. Immediate repair or specialist investigation is needed.
	Amber	Defect requiring attention; plan remedial works. Not immediately dangerous but likely to worsen if left. Schedule and monitor.
	Green	Minor observation; no immediate action. Low risk with no current impact; address within routine maintenance cycles.
	Highlight Counted separately	Non-RAG highlight, counted separately: advisory notes, best-practice recommendations and enhancement opportunities rather than defects.

Red — Serious defect requiring urgent attention.

Critical safety, structural or compliance risk
Immediate repair or specialist investigation
Examples: active leaks, unsafe electrics, structural instability

Amber — Defect requiring attention; plan remedials.

Not immediately dangerous but may worsen
Schedule and monitor
Examples: moderate corrosion, loose fixings, minor water staining

Green — Minor observation; no immediate action.

Low risk, no current impact
Routine maintenance cycles
Examples: minor staining, hairline mortar shrinkage, cosmetic wear

Highlight — Non-RAG highlight; counted separately.

Advisory notes, best-practice recommendations, enhancements
Not a defect
Examples: energy upgrades, accessibility improvements, modernisation opportunities

Tag guidance

Tags add context to each fault and allow the fault index to be filtered. The tags used in this report are:

Tag	Use where
Water ingress	Use where there is evidence of water entering the building or build-up: staining, damp patches, drips, saturated insulation or active leaks.
Structural issue	Use where the defect affects the load-bearing or supporting structure: deflection, movement, cracked or failed members, undersized or decayed supports.
Vegetation	Use where moss, lichen, weeds, grass or self-seeded plants are growing on the roof, facade, gutters or outlets.
Blocked gutters	Use where gutters, hoppers or outlets are blocked by debris, silt, leaves or vegetation so that rainwater cannot discharge.
Electrical hazard	Use where exposed, damaged or poorly supported cables, fittings, lightning protection or solar equipment create a shock or fire risk.
Access risk	Use where safe access for maintenance or inspection is restricted, unprotected or hazardous: fragile coverings, missing edge protection, poor fixings for ladders.
Fixings issue	Use where fixings, clips, screws, bolts or straps are loose, missing, corroded, over-driven or incorrectly specified.
Rooflight issue	Use where rooflights, lanterns or glazed roof panels are damaged, discoloured, leaking, loose or fragile.
Wind damage	Use where the defect is attributable to wind uplift or wind-driven impact: lifted sheets, displaced tiles, torn membranes, peeled flashings.
Falling debris	Use where loose material could fall and injure people or damage property below: loose tiles, render, masonry, cappings or glazing.
H&S risk	Use where the defect presents a health and safety risk to occupants, the public or operatives, beyond the specific hazard tags.
Impact damage	Use where damage has been caused by impact: foot traffic, dropped tools, plant, vehicles, hail or falling objects.
Mortar issues	Use where bedding, pointing or jointing mortar is cracked, eroded, missing or loose to ridges, hips, verges, chimneys or masonry.
Flashing issues	Use where lead, metal or proprietary flashings and soakers are lifted, split, corroded, missing or poorly dressed.
Cut end corrosion	Use where the cut or exposed edges of coated metal sheets, cladding or trims show edge corrosion or coating peel-back.
Corrosion	Use where metal components show rust, oxidation, pitting or coating breakdown beyond the cut edge.
Reduced daylight	Use where rooflights or glazing are dirty, discoloured, overpainted or covered so that natural daylight is reduced.
Restricted gutter	Use where the gutter cross-section or outlet is reduced by a liner, sag, debris build-up or incorrect fall rather than fully blocked.
Delamination	Use where layers of a sheet, panel, membrane, render or coating are separating, blistering or peeling apart.

Survey summary

Report Kit 360 was commissioned by Brindlewood Property Group Ltd to undertake an external roof condition survey at Brindle Court, 8 to 22 Foundry Lane, Marlbury.

Our brief was to provide secondary commentary on the roof and gutter conditions, identifying visible defects, their likely risk and a recommended course of action for each.

This report should be read alongside the complete image pack, available within our secure, password-protected client portal: https://portal.example.test/deliveries/P-2026-0088

Password: Supplied separately

We have provided within our report photographic evidence of each observation. The survey was a non-invasive visual survey carried out from the positions described; no materials were disturbed, lifted or tested. The findings are summarised as 1 red, 1 amber and 1 green observations.

Section summary

Section red (block A): concrete interlocking tiles on a 35° pitch with a dry-fix ridge. Three broken tiles at the eaves above the entrance and two slipped tiles mid-slope. Gutters silted with moss. Lead flashings to the stair-core abutment are split on the east side. Condition fair; red items to be dealt with promptly.

#	Rating	Fault type	Tags
#1	Red	Broken tiles	Falling debris Water ingress
Defect: three broken interlocking tiles at the eaves directly above the entrance. Risk: fragments falling onto the entrance path; water tracking into the eaves. Recommendation: replace the tiles and check the eaves felt within one month; cordon the path below until done.
#2	Amber	Slipped tiles	Fixings issue
Two slipped tiles mid-slope; refix with clips at the same visit.
#3	Green	Moss growth	Vegetation
Light moss on the north slope; clean when the gutters are cleared.
