This week we’ve mobilised to site at Plas Alltran in #Holyhead to take on the rehabilitation of this gem of a thing which was on the @the_victorian_society top ten list of buildings at risk. We completed a first phase of holding repairs here in 2021, and phase two will see the building fully pulled back from the brink. Originally built as a doctor’s surgery (ostensibly the first such purpose built building of its type) we’ll be sensitively repurposing it as four apartments with for #Anglesey County Council. . #conservation #oldbuilding #architecture #northwales #wales #heritage
Award-winning smiles! The #Chester Rows Regeneration project was awarded the Chair’s Special Award at the Civic Trust Awards yesterday! A pleasure to have delivered this outstanding #heritage project alongside @insallarch @ramboll_uk @cheshirewestandchestercouncil
The brick infill has been completely removed from the west elevation at #Northwich Library, in readiness for repair and replacement to the timber frame. This pic is one of three large gabled bays along the west passage. Extensive rot has given way to catastrophic structural failure so restoration is creeping in over conservation. The cantilevered scaffold beams you can see holding up the frame are offset with forty tonnes of scaffolding on the other side of the boarding up. It’s no mean feat! . #conservation #timber #oldbuilding #historicbuildingconservation #Cheshire #joinery #repair #picoftheday #restoration #skills
The 6th new stallboard on the rows is coming on nicely in #Chester - lovely results and work by the team. As always our thanks to all those in Chester for being so accommodating whilst our HAZ works continue. . . . . . . #supportinglocalbusiness #chester @chester_bid @cheshirewestandchestercouncil
Recclesia to the Rescue (Part 2). We’ve been working like billy-oh to sort out the structural problems at St Peter’s #Chester so Northgate can reopen after the emergency closure. Steady progress continues this week.
