FAQs

Schools & Academies FAQs for City of London

What does a school condition survey cover in City of London?

Our school condition surveys in City of London assess the full building envelope including roofing, external walls, windows and doors, internal finishes, mechanical and electrical services, fire safety provisions and external grounds. We grade each element by condition and urgency, providing a prioritised schedule of works with cost estimates.

Do you survey academy schools as well as local authority schools in City of London?

Yes. We work with local authority maintained schools, single academy trusts and multi-academy trusts across City of London. Our surveys follow the same methodology regardless of governance structure and are compliant with DfE condition data collection requirements.

How does fire compartmentation affect schools in City of London?

Many school buildings in City of London, particularly those built or extended during the post-war expansion period, have compromised fire compartmentation due to subsequent alterations, service installations and maintenance works. Breached compartmentation allows fire and smoke to spread beyond the compartment of origin, endangering occupants. Our surveys identify these breaches and provide prioritised remediation strategies.

Can you help with DfE funding applications for school building works in City of London?

Our condition survey reports are prepared in a format that supports DfE funding applications, including the Condition Improvement Fund and School Rebuilding Programme. We provide the technical evidence required to demonstrate need and prioritise investment across your school estate in City of London.
