Historic Façade Repair and Redecoration Works

We wish to appoint a suitably qualified contractor to carry out sensitive repairs to the grade II* historic façade. Blocks of doulting stone used as facing from the steel framed structure have cracked, due to the corrosion of the steel behind. A repair is required to be made to the steel and then the faced repaired with a newly dressed doulting stone. There are numerous smaller repairs including the replacement of stone tactile paving at the public entrance, lime repointing to chimneys and repairs to cracked brick and stone walls alongside redecoration of historic ironwork and the replacement of lead flashing details.

The effective management of health and safety risks is considered key for the successful delivery of these works.
