Approach: Our team focused on delivering sensitive repairs that respected the building’s heritage status while ensuring modern performance standards.

Methodology: The remedial programme involved targeted façade and lightwell works, including:
• Replacing grout between sandstone panels (approx. 300 lm)
• Renewing perimeter sealant around window frames (approx. 2000 lm)
• Repairing cracks in sandstone panels (approx. 100 lm)

• Full lightwell repainting
