English Heritage are seeking to appoint a contractor to carry-out conservation repairs to the Durbar Wing at Osborne, a Grade 1 Listed Building on the Isle of Wight.

Osborne was a favoured residence of Queen Victoria. It is a large Italianate residence built in 1845-51 and is set in a landscape park.

The Durbar Wing at Osborne is located at the north‐east corner of the central Pavilion Range. It was added in 1890/91 to provide a state banqueting room as well as accommodation for Queen Victoria’s youngest daughter Princess Beatrice, her husband Prince Henry of Battenberg and their three children.

The proposed conservation repair works to the Durbar Wing at Osborne can be summarised as follows:

Erection of self‐supporting scaffold and temporary roof over the Durbar Wing. Temporary alterations to lightning conductor system, existing electrical works for flood lighting and security system followed by reinstatement upon completion of roofing works.
Careful removal asphalt decking roof, lead roofs and flashings.
Careful removal and setting aside of roof slates for reinstatement.
Repairs to structural roof members as required.
