floor test: 190 lichfeild road, stone, staffs. Test ref: 16979: Dated 9th October 2020. Further to our recent visit to the above address, we confirm having carried out a visual site inspection, and obtaining a sample of hardcore from the front Bedroom. External Brickwork: An external inspection shows one vertical crack below D.P.C level on the front right hand corner elevation, but no evidence of lateral movement of the brickwork below D.P.C. Level due to sulphate action. As the external ground levels drop considerably towards the front / right hand side elevations, it is possible the vertical crack may have been as a result of settlement and more than likely occured in the early years when the property was built Internal Inspection: A visual inspection of the floors shows no apparent damage co-incident with Sulphate Action on the concrete. It shall be noted however, it was difficult to carry out a more thorough inspection of the floors due to the floor coverings throughout. The floor screed is sand and cement and the condition of the concrete floor slab is average. The concrete floor slab was approximately 100mm thick at the test location. There is no polythene membrane between the concrete and the infill as this was not a Building Regulation requirement at the time the property was built. The hardcore sample taken was a red ash / shale type material and was slightly moist. Attached is the result of the analysis on the hardcore sample showing a Sulphate level of 1350mg SO4/Litre. This result corresponds to a grading of Class 2 as detailed in the Communities and Local Government Publication 07BD05094. Hardcore with a sulphate level of 1350mg SO4/Litre falls within the Class 2 grading 500mg SO4/Litre to 1500mg SO4/Litre is the limit of Class 2. The Building Research Establishment say "For older houses, say more than 20 years old, where the slab was cast on sulphate bearing fill without a membrane, but where there are no visible signs of distress or any deterioration in the construction then, in my opinion, if there was a potential problem then I would have expected it to have shown up by now. Of course sulphate attack could become a problem if a radical change takes place in the potential for the hardcore to become wet." Conclusions: This property is approximately 60 years old, the hardcore fill is slightly moist and although there is no polythene membrane present between the concrete floor slab and the hardcore, with this Class 2 sulphate level, it is possible, although unlikely that damage could take place in the future to the floors and walls below D.P.C. To the property unless if, for any reason, there was an increase in the moisture content of the hardcore fill.
