Brief description of the project: Due to historic bomb damage, we were instructed to complete stabilisation works to this previous party wall over time, the top gable and the exposed chimneys started to rotate away from the building. Works that were completed included: Heli bar bracing/stitching to the side gable wall and render repairs. New timber A-frames were also required in the loft to tie the top of the gable wall in, as well as roof and leadwork repairs. Heli-bar strapping and brickwork stitching was also needed on the old chimneys to tie them back into the original wall. On completion, the entire rendered gable wall was finished in a storm-dry weather coating. Part of the project management of this job required party wall approvals and full scaffold design.

How you delivered the service and customer satisfaction: We worked with our staff and carefully chosen subcontractors to complete the project within 3 months and within budget. We worked closely with the homeowners to make sure they were happy at every stage of the process. We also worked closely with neighbours and the local authority to make sure that the impact on the neighbours from the bridged scaffolding was at a minimum and that the works completed met all the required regulations and standards. The works were also signed off by building control.
Successes: Completing the works in time and within budget.
Client feedback: The Client was very happy with the work, and we were contacted by neighbouring properties to tender for jobs with them.
