Cardiff compliance topics


Cardiff — local materials and cleaning considerations

  • Pennant Sandstone — the primary building material of Cardiff and South Wales. Dark blue-grey Carboniferous sandstone from the Coal Measures — Cardiff's Victorian terraced housing, civic buildings and Bute Town dock warehouses are largely Pennant Sandstone. Silica-containing — cutting and drilling generates RCS dust requiring H-Class extraction.
  • North Wales slate — Welsh slate from the Gwynedd quarries used for roofing across Cardiff and all South Wales housing. Slate cutting generates fine silica-containing dust — COSHH assessment required for slate cutting and repair.
  • Cleaning specification — Pennant Sandstone tolerates medium-pressure cleaning. Chemical biocide treatment for the organic growth common on South Wales stone requires COSHH assessment. Cleaning runoff must not reach Cardiff Bay or the Taff under Environmental Permitting.
