We believe the risk to be very low, and the use of RAAC in our buildings is likely to be very limited.
However, the safety of residents is our top priority and so we are urgently undertaking appropriate analysis, in line with government advice.
Should we identify any buildings where RAAC is present, we will inform residents immediately and ensure they are kept fully updated about next steps.
What is RAAC?
Reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) is a lightweight material that was used mostly in flat roofing, but also in floors and walls, between the 1950s and 1990s.
