Stage Three Mundic Test Report
Following your Stage Three Mundic Test you will receive a full report stating the test results and what, if anything, you need to do next. Your results will be graded as one of the below, classifying the concrete as one of the categories listed below with a colour attached to the result.
Whilst it may appear concerning, a red result does not necessarily mean the property is a lost cause! In many instances it is possible to replace or remove affected concrete and our Mundic Verification Service will guide you through this process with the aim of being able to re-classify the property as free from mundic.
Class A3 means that the concrete contains a greater proportion of mundic than Class A2 but it has been shown that it is unlikely to suffer adverse effects during an average mortgage lending term.
Class B2 is a fail, meaning that mundic bearing aggregates have been found to make up more than 30% of the concrete. This means that its long term competency cannot be relied upon and thus no assurances for the future of the concrete can be provided at this stage, even if it appears sound. The marketability of the property will be impaired following this result and typically, the property is considered unmortageable.
In this instance we recommend that the most appropriate course of action is to remove and replace the concrete forming the affected part of the property. Our Mundic Removal Verification service will guide you through this process with the objective of being able to reclassify the property as free from mundic. This typically includes guidance on what to replace and how to do it; inspections by our surveyor to verify the work is undertaken correctly and a final report for lending purposes.
