Project: External refurbishment
Location: St Albans House & Haymarket House
Client: Land Securities
Contract Period: 18 weeks
Value: £260,000
Brief:
A complete external wash down and stonework refurbishment of occupied buildings, prominently positioned on the Haymarket, London.
Key Issues:
As an operating site, tenanted by an internationally known fashion brand owner, the security and comfort of the operational staff were paramount.
This very busy on way thoroughfare created significant safety and convenience issues for the general public. The quality and positioning of scaffolding was critical and much of the cleaning had to be undertaken at off peak times.
Trinity worked closely with management and staff, and under a licensing agreement with Westminster City Council, to meet these critical requirements. Precise programming of washing and refurbishment work to the windows was essential to minimise both the relocation of key staff and the impact on the general public.
On inspection of the building after washing, a large number of stone repairs were identified necessary to prevent further deterioration of the building. These repairs were then prioritised and undertaken to meet agreed budgets and time frames.
Outcome:
The transformation of a fine building - completed on time, to budget and with minimal inconvenience to the staff, their operation and to the general public. The requirements of Westminster City Council were met fully.
