Mortgage soil sample

[Pedroski]

its called a plasticity test, why on ''earth'' don't customers get the right firms in with the correct experience to start with, there are loads of firms that undertake mortgage reports

 

Arbs thinking they are suitably qualified to do this, yet get all uppity if a gardener so much as looks at a tree

 

Get a geotech firm in - simple

You might want to have a read of BS 1377-2:1990 first, and maybe BS 5930:1999+A2:2010 Section 4 which specifies methods for field sampling.

 

Or sub the work out to a specialist.

Go to the local library and see if they have a chart of the local soil types.

Ours is very detailed and varied

Other than that.....££££££

Of course some are, but obviously not the ones who have to ask

Everybody asks the first time, its all learning isnt it?

 

Pablo, I'd send some samples off to a lab for a proper job or get a geotechnical firm in for this.

 

Hope it goes well for you.

How many actually take a soil sample though Lee?

 

In my experience all mortgage reports are required at short notice so there's not enough time to do it properly as Pablo is. I usually use a soil map to make a fairly general comment about the local soil type in a mortgage report.

I can take a soil sample [if I can't determine exact soil type or the lender/insurer requests it] and have it indexed in 48 hours £40 plus vat
