RAAC Surveys in Seaham
Seaham is a former-colliery coastal town with post-war schools, civic buildings and commercial premises. Its flat-roofed RAAC-era stock makes it a regular focus, where RAACScan identifies and assesses reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete. Every RAAC survey is carried out in line with the Institution of Structural Engineers' guidance on reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete.

When a RAAC survey is needed in Seaham
In Seaham we survey flat-roofed school, civic and commercial buildings for RAAC and assess the condition of confirmed panels, with attention to roofs exposed to a coastal environment.
Frequently asked questions
- Do you survey RAAC in Seaham schools?
- Yes. Post-war school buildings may contain flat RAAC roofs, and we survey and grade them so the responsible body can act on the condition.
- Does the coastal setting affect RAAC in Seaham?
- It can. RAAC is porous and vulnerable to moisture, so a coastal setting makes keeping roofs watertight and assessing water damage especially important.
- Do you confirm whether a Seaham building contains RAAC?
- Yes. We identify whether RAAC is present and distinguish it from dense concrete and other plank systems.
