1.0 Background 1.1 Summers-Inman received instruction on Friday 16th March 2018 from Murdo McLeod of

The City of Edinburgh Council, to carry out a condition survey at Oxgangs Primary School, 60 Oxgangs Road North, Edinburgh EH13 9DS. Survey access was arranged for Sunday 18th March and Monday 19th March 2018.

1.2 The purpose of the survey report is to advise on the condition of the ceilings of the

property. 1.3 The subject property is situated approximately 4 miles south west of Edinburgh’s city

centre. 1.4 The property is a mixture of single and two storey buildings providing schooling facilities for

children under the age of eleven. The structure is of metal frame construction with profiled metal sheet roof, metal soffits and fascias. External wall finishes consist of brickwork and smooth render, windows are metal double glazed, and the external doors are a combination of metal with glazed panes and solid metal doors. The property has small grassed and tarmac paving areas and is surrounded by 2m high metal post and wire fence on all sides of the property.

1.5 Internally the building has mixture of suspend ceilings, the underside of the metal sheet

roofing and suspended plaster board. The internal walls are combination of solid plastered, plasterboard stud, painted blockwork and folding partitions. The flooring coverings are a mixture of carpet or vinyl finishes.

1.6 The property was constructed circa 2002. 1.7 For the purposes of this report the front elevation of the building is taken as facing north. 1.8 The survey was undertaken by Iain Macdonald BSc (Hons), Building Surveyor on Sunday

18th March and Monday 19th March 2018. Weather conditions during the inspections were sunny with occasional snowfall, with an outside temperature of approximately 0-2˚C.

1.9 The extent of our survey involved a non-disruptive inspection of the building fabric and

access above suspended ceilings was via a ladder. The roof coverings and associated elements were inspected from ground level.

2.0 Internal Condition Survey

The following section of the report provides details on any defects noted and the current condition of the internal building fabric of Oxgangs Primary School. The suspended ceiling and the void above the ceiling were specifically inspected, but if there were defects noted elsewhere which were of particular concern these have been identified. During the inspection it was noted that several of the defects were reoccurring within a number of the rooms throughout the school. Where the exact location of the defect is not recorded below, please reference Appendix i – Inspection Checklist for the location of the defect. Note: Please also refer to Appendix ii – Survey photographs and Appendix iii – Floor Plans, for all element references.

2.1 Support wires for ceiling grid incorrectly fitted

2.1.1 The support wires which secure the ceiling tile grid should be positioned at 1.2m intervals. The wires should also run vertically from the grid to a secure fixing above. The support wires for a section of the ceiling grid above the first-floor cloakroom have been fitted at an angle of approximately 45o and do not run vertically. (See photo 02)

2.2 No support wires to light fittings

2.2.1 Although each light fitting appeared secure within the ceiling grid, the lighting manufacturer’s details suggest that each light fitting should have support wires connecting the fitting to an independent fixing. Several light fittings housed within the suspended ceiling grid do not have this support wire. (See photo 03)

2.3 Snapped support wires to light fittings

2.3.1 As mentioned within 3.2.1, the lighting manufacturer’s details suggest that each light fitting

should have support wire connecting the fitting to an independent fixing. Several support wires had snapped and thus not securing the light fittings. (See photo 04)

2.4 Support wires for light fittings not tied with clip

2.4.1 The lighting manufacturer’s details suggest that the ends of the support wire should be held in placed with a plastic clip (see photo 05), but the support wire, to several of the lighting fittings, have been tied together without the plastic clip. (See photo 06)

2.5 Support wires for light fittings tied around water pipe

2.5.1 As previously mentioned within 3.2.1, it is suggested that each light fitting should have support wire connecting the fitting to an independent fixing. Several support wires have been tied around pipework located within the ceiling void, rather than to an independent fixture. (See photo 07)

2.6 Support wires for light fittings not tied to independent fixture

2.6.1 Several of the light fitting support wires have not been secured to an independent fixing but to an alternative support, such as cable trays/ducts. While these alternative supports are themselves secured independent of the ceiling tile grid, if the cable trays/ducts are adjusted/reconfigured there is the opportunity that the support wire for the lighting may be removed and not refixed. (See photo 08)

2.7 Light fitting not incorporated correctly within ceiling tile grid

2.7.1 There are isolated light fittings which are not sitting flat within the ceiling tile grid. (See

photo 09)

2.8 Loose or missing ceiling tiles

2.8.1 To ensure that a suspended ceiling tile stays ridged all ceiling tiles must be fitted within the grid, otherwise it may become unbalanced or destabilised. Various ceiling tiles, predominately half tiles to the edge of the ceiling tile grid, where not fitted correctly within the ceiling grid or are missing. (See photos 10-12)

2.9 Loose sections of ceiling tile grid

2.9.1 There are isolated sections of the ceiling tile grid with are loose and/or bent. These sections are predominately located to the edge of the ceiling tile grid. (See photos 12-15)

2.10 Debris and additional ceiling tiles located above the ceiling grid

2.10.1 In several locations throughout the school, there are additional ceiling tiles and debris located on top of the suspended ceiling. (See photo 016) These items could add additional weight to the suspended ceiling which it has not been designed for.

2.10.2 A hook, similar to the one found on a coat hanger, was hanging out from between a ceiling tile and the ceiling grid, within Room 012, Nursery.

2.11 Bowing ceiling tiles

2.11.1 In several locations, vents and speakers are housed within the ceiling tiles, and the additional weight has caused the ceiling tile to bow downwards. (See photos 22-24)

2.11.2 The brackets for a ceiling mounted speaker within Room 044, WC, are loose and resulting in the speaker not being secured correctly in position. (See photo 25)

2.12 Potential breach of fire seal

2.12.1 Within Room 047, Store, all services which transfer through the wall to the adjoining stairwell must be sealed with a fire seal. There is a metal air duct which transfers from the stair through to the store. The duct should be connected to a vent housed within the suspended ceiling, but a section of the ducting is missing. (See photo 26)

2.13 Insulation with ducting

2.13.1 Within Room 045, Corridor, glass wool insulation was noted within the air ducting, potential blocking the flow of air through the duct. (See photo 27)

2.14 Pipework not supported

2.14.1 A 110mm horizontal uPVC pipe located within the ceiling void of Room 054, WC, is resting on top of the suspended ceiling grid. The support brackets which should suspend the pipe from the roof structure have snapped. (See photo 28)

2.15 Loose tarpaulin around ducting penetrating through roof

2.15.1 The ducting from the large extract hood located within Room 059, Kitchen, extracts

vertically through the roof above. Where the ducting penetrates the roof, tarpaulin has been taped to the underside of the roof around the duct. Sections of the tarpaulin have come loose, resulting in it hanging within the ceiling void. (See photo 29)

2.15.2 There is loose tarpaulin within the ceiling void of Room 028, WC. Access to the ceiling void was limited and further investigation should be carried out.

2.16 Ceiling tiles fitted on an angle

2.16.1 Where ceiling tiles are not installed horizontally, it is good practise to ensure the ceiling tiles are clipped in position to ensure the tiles do not slip out. Rooms 069, Store and Rooms F024 & F026, WCs, have sections of the suspended ceiling which have been fitted at an angle and the tiles have not been secured with clips. (See photos 30-31)

2.17 Unsafe light fitting

2.17.1 The light fitting within Room 024, WC, had a cracked plastic cover and a loose bolt. (See

photo 32) 2.18 Ducting not connected

2.18.1 The black flexible ducting located within the ceiling void above Room 017, Office, was not

connected. (See photo 33)

2.18.2 The ducting for the sun tunnel located within the ceiling voids above Room 009, Meeting Room, and Room 072, Office, was not connected. (See photos 34-35)

2.18.3 The ducting located within the ceiling void above Room 027, Accessible WC, was not

connected. (See photo 36)

3.0 Summary

3.1 The purpose of the survey report is to advise on the condition of the ceilings within the

property.

3.2 We identified the following issues associated with the ceilings in the property:

• The suspended ceiling grid support wires were not installed correctly to a section of ceiling above a cloakroom;

• Sections of the suspended ceiling grid are loose and incorrectly fitted;

• Numerous light fittings housed within the suspended ceiling grid did not have support wires installed or installed correctly, as per the manufacturers recommendations;

• Several incorrectly fitted, missing or damaged ceiling tiles and ill-fitted light fittings within the suspended ceiling grids;

• Debris housed upon the top of the suspended ceilings; • Unsecure services and missing sections of ducting within the suspended ceiling

voids; • Unsecure sheeting around services taken through the roof within the suspended

ceiling voids;

3.3 We recommend that these issues are attended to as soon as possible.
