ON DEMAND CPD Metalwork in older buildings - corrosion defects explained

This is a recording of our online CPD session on 12th February 2026

Upon booking, you will be registered with our online learning platform and will have access to the recording for 1 month.

Overview:

The use of structural metalwork in buildings isn’t new but many of those earlier, perhaps innovative, steel framed buildings are now of an age where corrosion (usually hidden) is increasingly seen as a risk.   Accessing the steelwork is rarely easy.   This can be just as likely found in some types of residential houses as it might in industrial structures.  Post-war steel frame houses are included in this category. This CPD will also include terracotta and faience clad buildings.

Topics covered:

In this session, we will:

• The use of structural metalwork in buildings
• ‘Regent Street disease’
• Steel reinforcement in concrete

Suitability

This training is suitable for everyone, regardless of background or experience.   No prior knowledge or qualifications is required.  It is taught in English, so you must have a good use of the English language.

The training is intended to be of most value to RICS surveyors but it will also be useful to surveyors who are members of other professional groups, students, post-grad students, apprentices and those who might be seeking a career change later in life.

Format

This CPD training will be delivered online. This training qualifies for 1 hour formal CPD.
