FAQs

Schools & Academies FAQs for Tower Hamlets

What does a school condition survey cover in Tower Hamlets?

Our school condition surveys in Tower Hamlets 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 Tower Hamlets?

Yes. We work with local authority maintained schools, single academy trusts and multi-academy trusts across Tower Hamlets. 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 Tower Hamlets?

Many school buildings in Tower Hamlets, 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 Tower Hamlets?

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 Tower Hamlets.
