DESCRIPTION OF HAZARD/S

Dwelling:

Early 1960's, semi-detached non-trad house

A) Kitchen floor: The main photograph shows the kitchen floor looking through the main door leading

from the other rooms in the dwelling. Throughout the kitchen, the original thermoplastic plastic tiles

have become unstuck due to rising damp through the concrete sub-floor and have also become

brittle and broken with age. The remaining floors in the dwelling, although similarly damp on the

ground floor, do not present any additional risk with respect to falls on the level and the front access

and rear paths are also in reasonable condition. (This floor would also need to be separately rated

with respect to provision for food safety)
