Sulphur removal FAQs

Get answers to some of our most commonly asked questions.

Does my property have sulphur?

Sulphur is found in numerous materials used for hardcore infill, which was a popular method of construction from the 1940s to the early 1980s. The only way to know for sure before structural damage takes place is with an infill test – we can put you in touch with a trusted contractor to carry this out.

What’s the difference between sulphur and shale?

Shale is a type of rock formed by clay or mud, which has been used as an infill material for lots of buildings. Sulphur is the chemical which makes some shale problematic, but it’s also found in a number of other materials like ash, colliery spoil, slag and brick rubble.
