Do you survey RAAC in Northampton’s NHS and university buildings?

Yes. Northampton’s healthcare and university estates include flat-roofed blocks from the RAAC era, and we survey their roofs for reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete, working around clinical and teaching use.

Can you assess RAAC in Northampton’s civic buildings?

We can. Civic and administrative buildings from the RAAC era often contain RAAC roof panels, which we inspect and grade non-destructively so they can stay in use.

Is RAAC found in Northampton schools and commercial premises?

It can be. Post-war schools and commercial buildings of the 1960s to 1980s sometimes used RAAC, and we confirm whether it is present and assess condition before works.

RAAC Surveys in Northampton

Northampton is the county town, with a major NHS estate, a university, civic buildings and extensive post-war housing, schools and commercial premises, alongside its footwear-industry heritage. Many of its flat-roofed blocks date from the RAAC era, so RAACScan surveys this stock to find and grade reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete. Every RAAC survey is carried out in line with the Institution of Structural Engineers' guidance on reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete.

Government-confirmed RAAC in Northampton

Northampton International Academy and Fairfields School, both in Northampton, are on the Department for Education’s published list of education settings with confirmed RAAC, and the Royal and Derngate theatre complex in the town has also been publicly reported to contain RAAC. We mention these publicly identified buildings to show that RAAC is a live local issue in the town, not to imply we have worked on them.
