Guest Boxergirl Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hello, I currently rent a flat with a housing association. The floor is in need of repair as floorboards are loose and gaps around the floors. My concern is there is a huge 4 inch gap between the flooring and tue concrete underneath. I believe no screed was out down when the flats were built, something which the housing Association won't admit to. I'm concerned this is a fire risk as i have lived here for 17 years and the flooring has never been checked even though some flats built on a different block the concrete under thefloors are acually starting to crack.

Tom Sutton Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 I see this as a construction problem not a fire risk, I have been to many fires and the floors where not affected by a fire on that floor, only if it starts on the floor below which can breach the ceiling then floor above, as this is a concrete floor the chances would be low.
