  • On Site in Phillimore Gardens

    15 March, 2012

    Now six months into the programme, construction work is progressing nicely on our latest project in Phillimore Gardens.

    The work includes the total refurbishment of each level and the formation of a 200 square metre basement under the footprint of the building.

    Working from the top-down major structural alterations are progressing to the upper levels with the 3rd and 2nd floors being replaced and wall partitions built, whilst the basement is being excavated by a separate team below.

    The plan is for both teams to meet in the middle as work progresses beneath the house and at the upper levels.

    Whilst major structural work is undertaken within the building, the first paint strip to the Front Facade has been competed. The intention is to remove all the paint back to bare masonry across all flat areas and mouldings, in preparation for rigorous repair and decoration work to follow.

    Stay tuned for the next update!
