CONCRETE BLOCK TEST SUPERVISION

Properties built, in Cornwall and parts of Devon, pre-1950 were often constructed of shuttered mass concrete or concrete blockwork which sometimes contains deleterious materials. In the deep south west, the local description for deleterious shuttered mass concrete or concrete block is “Mundic.”  Any property which contains pre-1950 manufactured concrete materials requires a Concrete Test Report completed in accordance with RICS Mundic Block Steering Committee guidelines issued in April 1994, as subsequently amended.

A concrete Test Report on a property would involve the taking of a number of core samples of the concrete materials to be examined and tested by a Petrographer; the sampling process must be overseen by a Chartered Surveyor or other suitably qualified professional and the Petrographer’s Report must be reviewed by a Chartered Surveyor and a Covering/Supervising Surveyor’s Report issued.
