Which areas of Devon does RAACScan cover?

We cover the county, including Exeter, Exmouth, Barnstaple, Newton Abbot, Tiverton, Honiton, Dawlish, Teignmouth, Bideford, Sidmouth and Ilfracombe. Plymouth and Torbay are treated as separate areas.

What types of building in Devon most often contain RAAC?

Flat-roofed buildings from the mid-1950s to mid-1990s: schools across the county, plus post-war civic, coastal and rural-town premises of the same era.

How quickly can you carry out a RAAC survey in Devon?

We can usually attend at short notice, which matters where a confirmed case nearby, a roof leak or a transaction has raised an urgent RAAC question.

RAAC Surveys in Devon

RAACScan provides RAAC surveys, identification and condition assessment across Devon, where the Department for Education has confirmed RAAC in schools at Exmouth, Barnstaple and the Colyton area. From Exeter and the Exe estuary to North Devon and the coast, we find reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete in roofs and floors, record where it is and grade its condition. Every RAAC survey is carried out in line with the Institution of Structural Engineers' guidance on reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete.

Devon's RAAC-era building stock

Devon has confirmed RAAC schools alongside a large post-war public, coastal and rural-town estate. The county used RAAC roof and floor panels in its post-war schools and civic buildings, from the city of Exeter to the coastal towns of Exmouth, Teignmouth and Dawlish and the market towns of North and Mid Devon. That makes the area a clear priority for survey and assessment.

Government-confirmed RAAC in Devon

The Department for Education has confirmed RAAC at Exmouth Community College, Petroc near Barnstaple and Colyton Grammar School in East Devon. We name these publicly identified settings to show that RAAC is a live local issue across Devon, not to imply we have worked on them.
