RAAC ‘not widespread in social housing’ says regulator
The social housing in England regulator denies that aerated concrete is likely to be prevalent in social housing
A type of lightweight concrete behind the closure of 100 schools is not likely to be “widespread” in social housing, according to the English regulator of social housing.
Consultants have warned that the panels made from Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete, better known as RAAC, may have been used in social housing built in the 1950s to 1970s.
A spokesperson for the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH), however, has said the watchdog does not believe RAAC to have been widely used in social housing in England.
