HSE's guidance note behind every slip-resistance figure a flooring or paving note quotes, and the source that separates the two tests people conflate. Table 1 classifies slip potential from pendulum test values (PTV): 0 to 24 high, 25 to 35 moderate, 36 and above low. Table 2 gives the parallel Rz microroughness classification. It describes the HSL/UKSRG ramp CoF test, then deals with the German ramp tests separately: DIN 51097 uses barefoot operators with a soap solution and DIN 51130 uses heavily cleated EN ISO 20345 safety boots with motor oil, and HSE states it has reservations about both because neither uses contaminants representative of real workplaces and the way results are reported is a cause for concern. Table 3 sets the DIN 51130 R scale by slip angle: R9 6 to 10 degrees, R10 10 to 19, R11 19 to 27, R12 27 to 35, R13 above 35. It warns that R9 and sometimes R10 surfaces will be slippery when wet and that a single class covers a wide CoF range, R10 alone spanning 0.18 to 0.34, so an R number is not a substitute for a PTV. Note that BS 7976-2, the pendulum method, was withdrawn in February 2022, which makes this HSE page the right citation for the thresholds.

The regulator's position on choosing a floor surface that will not become a slip hazard, page dated 23 June 2025. It cites regulation 12 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, which requires floors to be suitable, in good condition and free from obstructions so people can move around safely, and states that where a floor is likely to be subject to frequent contamination people should still be able to walk on it without risk of slipping. It points to HSE guidance on assessing the slip resistance of flooring and the relevant British and European standards, to CIRIA C652 Safer surfaces to walk on, and to INDG225 Preventing slips and trips at work.

Sets the conditions under which work with asbestos does not need a licence. The exposure must be sporadic and of low intensity, with the air concentration not exceeding 0.6 fibres per cubic centimetre measured over 10 minutes, and must not exceed the legal control limit of 0.1 asbestos fibres per cubic centimetre of air averaged over a four hour period. Materials listed as non-licensed include asbestos-containing thermoplastic and vinyl floor tiles worked on without substantial breakage, drilling textured decorative coatings to fit fixtures and fittings, painting or repainting asbestos insulating board in good condition, and maintenance of asbestos cement products such as roof sheeting, tiles and rainwater goods provided they are not substantially damaged. Notifiable non-licensed work includes large-scale removal of textured decorative coatings by steaming or gelling, and removal of asbestos cement where the material will be substantially damaged or broken up. This is the reference for anyone lifting old vinyl floor tiles or stripping Artex in a pre-2000 home.

The statutory figures behind a damp diagnosis, and the numbers to quote when a note explains why ground levels or a bridged damp proof course cause rising damp. Paragraph 5.2 requires that in an external wall the damp-proof course should be at least 150mm above the level of the adjoining ground (Diagram 8) unless part of the building protects the wall, and that in an external cavity wall the cavity should be taken down at least 225mm below the level of the lowest damp-proof course, or a damp-proof tray provided (Diagram 9a). For suspended timber ground floors it requires a ventilated air space of at least 75mm from the ground covering to the underside of any wall-plates and at least 150mm to the underside of the suspended timber floor or insulation, with ventilation openings on two opposing external walls of not less than 1,500mm2 per metre run of external wall or 500mm2 per square metre of floor area, whichever is greater; for suspended concrete floors the clear ventilated space is at least 150mm with the same opening sizes. Section 2.39 onwards covers radon, referring to BRE Report BR 211 for protective measures. The 2013 edition was published on 3 September 2013 with changes in effect from 1 October 2013.

Section 10 makes it an offence, without the consent of the Treasury, to melt down or break up any metal coin that is current in the UK or that has ceased to be current on or after 16 May 1969. Penalty on summary conviction a fine not exceeding £400; on indictment a fine or up to two years' imprisonment or both; breach of a licence condition a fine up to level 5 on the standard scale. The court may order forfeiture of the coins, and officers of a body corporate can be personally liable where the offence involved their consent or neglect. The section says nothing about defacing, marking or affixing coins, so laying intact coins as a decorative floor is outside it.

SCOTLAND, latest revised version with no outstanding effects, and several of these contradict England. Type 20 makes a door, window or rooflight warrant-exempt EVEN WHERE THE FRAME IS REPLACED, so a Scottish window replacement needs no building warrant and no FENSA or Certass notification, unlike England where replacing a window is notifiable building work; it must still meet the regulations, including the 1.4 W/m2K or WER Band B standard. Type 19 exempts open raised external decking unless it is at a height of more than 1.2 metres. Type 21 exempts a paved area or hardstanding unless it exceeds 200 SQUARE METRES or forms part of a required access, a far more generous threshold than England's 5 square metre front garden rule. Type 22 exempts extra-low voltage electrical installations not exceeding 50 volts AC or 120 volts DC. Type 24 exempts like-for-like replacement of fittings including sanitary facilities, rainwater gutters and downpipes, solid fuel appliances, electrical fixtures, ventilation fans and kitchen fitments, but expressly NOT doors, windows or rooflights, nor oil or gas fired boilers. Type 25 exempts like-for-like replacement of flooring, lining, cladding, covering or rendering internally or externally.

The current edition of the UK waterproofing code, published 31 March 2022, superseding BS 8102:2009. It gives recommendations and guidance on dealing with and preventing the entry of water from external sources into structures partly or wholly below ground, and it recognises three types of protection which a specification must name: Type A waterproofing barrier materials applied to the structure, Type B structurally integral watertight construction, and Type C drained cavity construction. It requires the waterproofing strategy to be set at the earliest planning and design stage, covering structural design, overall weatherproofing design, waterproofing design, construction sequencing and buildability, and it treats external drainage and openings as part of the strategy rather than as details. It also sets out evaluation of groundwater conditions, consideration of harmful ground gases, and the risk assessment that drives the choice of grade. Descriptors include basements, tanking, vapour barriers, render, ground-water drainage and site investigations. This is the standard to cite for a basement shower room or a below-ground floor build-up.

Clause 1 gives recommendations for materials, design, work on site, inspection and testing of pumpable self-smoothing screeds, commonly called self-levelling screeds. It notes there are two principal types, one predominantly based on cementitious binders and the other predominantly on calcium sulfate (anhydrite) binders, and it covers both pumpable levelling screeds and pumpable wearing screeds in buildings. As a levelling screed it is intended to receive floor coverings such as textiles, linoleum, PVC, rubber and cork, or rigid floorings.

The scope covers three types of ceramic tile adhesive: cementitious for internal and external installations, and dispersion and reaction resin for internal installations only, on walls and floors. It gives the terminology for the products, working methods and application properties, specifies the performance requirements and the appurtenant test methods, the assessment and verification of constancy of performance, and the classification, designation and marking of tile adhesives, which is where the C, D and R type letters and class numbers on a bag of adhesive come from. It expressly does not provide criteria or recommendations for the design and installation of ceramic tiles, which is BS 5385.

Part 1 provides the reaction to fire classification procedure for all construction products, including products incorporated within building elements, with the sole exception of power, control and communication cables which are classified under EN 13501-6. Products are considered in relation to their end-use application, which is why an insulation board or cladding panel cannot carry a meaningful Euroclass in the abstract: the classification attaches to the product as used in a stated build-up.

The current British code of practice for laying a tiled floor, published 31 May 2024. It is the third of what is now a four-part BS 5385 series: Parts 1 and 2 cover internal and external wall tiling, Part 4 covers tiling in special conditions such as wet areas and swimming pools, and Part 3 now covers all rigid flooring. The 2024 revision consolidates and replaces both BS 5385-3:2014 on ceramic and mosaic floor tiling and BS 5385-5:2009 on terrazzo, natural stone and agglomerated stone flooring, so a specification that still cites BS 5385-5 is out of date. Its scope is recommendations for the design, installation and maintenance of floor tiling using ceramic tiles, mosaics, terrazzo tile and slab, natural stone internal and external floorings, and engineered stone for internal flooring. BSI states the revision was driven by ceramic floor tiles becoming thicker and larger, which has made the installation methods for ceramic and stone converge. Covers bedding onto concrete, cement and sand and calcium sulfate screeds, heated screeds, timber and existing hard finishes, plus movement joints and tolerances.

For every level, the member inspects roof space no more than three metres above floor level using a ladder where safe and reasonable. At Level 3 specifically the member enters the roof space and visually inspects the roof structure, lifts small corners of thermal insulation to identify its thickness and type and the nature of the ceiling below, and repositions a small number of lightweight possessions where permission is given; attempts to open all windows where permission, keys and safety allow; lifts the corners of loose and unfitted floor coverings and assesses all floors for excessive deflection by a heel-drop test, carrying out an inverted head and shoulders subfloor inspection and entering the underfloor area where safe; lifts accessible inspection chamber covers to drains and septic tanks and observes the drains in normal use; visually inspects all visible parts of the service systems, operating a sample of lights and extractor fans and asking the occupier to operate the heating; and performs a comprehensive inspection of the grounds. Services are never tested, only observed in normal operation, and the member does not perform or comment on design calculations. Appendices A and B of the Home Survey Standard are the benchmark tables the levels are built from.

Twist pile has a coarse rugged finish; velvet pile is smooth and suede-like, and on a like-for-like basis differs from twist only aesthetically; loop pile replicates natural coir and sisal and is a poor choice where cats or anything with long claws are present; Saxony has a deep pile that flattens, so it is not recommended for heavy traffic areas though it is popular in bedrooms; patterned carpet usually has a smooth velvet surface with good appearance retention. It also makes the general point that shorter pile wears better than long pile but is less luxurious.

Carries the figure a note on underlay needs: new underlay can increase the life of a carpet by forty per cent. The Carpet Foundation and its Chartered Trading Standards Institute approved Consumer Code of Practice recommend that new underlay is bought with every new carpet, because underlay lets the carpet sit properly and wear evenly, improves feel underfoot, increases heat and sound insulation and can reduce energy costs, reduces pile compression so appearance is retained longer, and considerably improves acoustics with impact noise reduced. It also warns that manufacturers may reject a complaint where old underlay, or no underlay, was used.
