External Facade
Start August 2023Expected to end TBC
Status: in progress
Phase two involves improving the external facade and revamping the entry system.
This milestone includes
Erect scaffolding on Cale Street
Start January 2025Expected to end March 2025
Like building a ladder to the sky, scaffolding gives our team safe access to every nook and cranny of the facade.
Extend Scaffold
Start January 2025Expected to end March 2025
With the lower levels safe, it's time to reach higher. The scaffolding is now extended to access the upper stories.
Windows Survey
Start Expected to end
At this moment the team will be assessing the condition of windows on the street-facing side of the building as well as planning repairs and replacements of the rear-facing windows, to ensure they are functional and beautiful once again.
Facade clean up
Start TBCExpected to end TBC
At the stage we use a heated chemical-free pressure washer to clean debris, grime and wear from the building's facade.
Window Installation
Start TBCExpected to end TBC
As we mentioned, the lead time on these Danish made triple glazed windows is approx 18 weeks, and with good reason. These composite windows are next generation and offer unrivalled insulation and efficiency. This is an essential part of the renovation and can not be rushed.
Post installation clean up
Start TBCExpected to end
Installing windows is a big job and we anticipate we'll need to clear debris, and carry out any required repairs and generally make good the internal and external structure after the installation is complete. This usually means replastering and painting or in best case scenario some trimming and touching up.
Brick and stone repairs
Start TBCExpected to end TBC
All buildings are at the mercy of the elements and over time the brick and stone work can begin to degrade. During this phase, we'll repair or replace any failed pointing, mortar, stone and brick work. This could mean reforming or replacing the brickwork recemeting and repointing mortar. Repairs to the stone work will also be done at this stage, this is a more skilled job and requires specialists. Our intention is to repair the significant repairs and return the building facade to its former glory.
QA inspection
Start Expected to end
At this stage, Clarion inspects the work so far and if satisfied with the standard of finish, Wates will ask to sign off on the progress.
