Cladding refurbishment for six-storey art deco building in London

Art Deco building external cladding needed to be refurbished

A six-storey late Art Deco building needed renovation works mainly due to water ingress, loose stone panels and general atmospheric pollution to the finishes. NJC building consultants were approached to provide options and to manage the external renovation on behalf of the client.

The building contains a number of flats and the exterior cladding consisted of thick reconstituted white coloured stone blocks which are held in by metal clips and mortar.

In an attractive and historic area of London

The building is located in an attractive area of London in a street once lived in by well known people, such as Sir Winston Churchill and Robert Baden-Powell.

NJC building consultants provided a management of works service

Our role was to advise, steer, specify and appoint the chosen contractor through a competitive tender process. NJC role was to manage the contract, as a contract administrator and deal with variations, payments, snagging and final accounts.

The original works were within budget and time

Additional works were added along the way

Once the project was live, there were additional requests from the freeholders to redecorate the low-level stonework which would lift the overall look of the building and the new works.
