Why is RAAC a priority in Leeds?

Leeds has schools on the Department for Education’s confirmed-RAAC list, alongside large NHS and university estates of the RAAC era, which makes the city a clear priority for survey and assessment.

Do you survey RAAC in Leeds NHS and university buildings?

Yes. Flat-roofed clinical and campus buildings of the RAAC era may contain RAAC roof panels, which we inspect and grade non-destructively, working around occupied use.

Can you survey RAAC across Leeds housing estates?

We can. Post-war social housing of the RAAC era may contain RAAC panels, and we survey and assess them so the owner understands the condition.
