We provide specialist concrete cleaning, repair and restoration services for architecturally significant buildings, with extensive experience across post-war, modernist and brutalist structures.
As increasing numbers of concrete buildings are recognised and/or listed for their architectural and heritage value, their repair demands a careful balance between conservation, performance and longevity. Our approach combines technical expertise with a detailed understanding of original materials, finishes and design intent.
From façade cleaning and localised repairs to extensive restoration programmes, we deliver solutions that address deterioration, improve durability and preserve the character of the building.
Our dedicated concrete restoration team has years of experience working across complex internal and external schemes. Combined with our wider specialist services, this allows us to offer a coordinated approach to projects where multiple disciplines are required.
We have successfully restored and future-proofed a wide range of concrete buildings, delivering award-winning results that protect significant architecture and extend its service life.
Facade consultancy and the early involvement of our specialist team at project inception, provides significantly greater clarity on the overall project intent & scope for all stakeholders. We are able to provide project specific strategic & costed options to the Client.
Commencing from the very outset of the project process, we provide assistance with planning & listed building consents, space auditing, general concept and solution advice resulting in a fully considered scope and suite of project documentation.
We offer a variety of comprehensive technical surveys and cost planning options to suit all requirements and budgets. From initial binocular surveys through to itemised & prioritised defects schedules, condition reports, annotated elevational drawings & photographs, abseiling, drones and BIM modelling.
Environmental conditions often result in facades requiring significant intervention. Pollutants, moisture, wind & precipitation can all contribute to the degradation of a building.
Restore London’s experienced technicians offer excellent understanding in the latest sympathetic cleaning techniques and state of the art systems, be they for internal or external applications. Technical innovation is constantly evolving in this area and our craft cleaners are at the forefront of this evolution. Our vastly experienced team are able to recommend and deploy a range of methods and by carrying out controlled exemplar samples, the most responsive, least intrusive method can be readily determined.
The results that can be achieved are truly impressive, breathing new life into the facade. Advice & cleaning samples can be provided free of charge by arrangement.
Whilst a reasonably accurate survey can be undertaken before cleaning, it is more effective to ascertain defects once cleaning is complete. Where repairs are required, these are undertaken by our skilled masons and restorers who will sympathetically blend matching materials, products and styles to ensure a seamless repair with the same performance & weathering characteristics as the original fabric.
Whether it is stone masonry, brickwork, faience, or terracotta, we have the craft skills, management experience and understanding to provide award-winning restoration and conservation of historic facades.
Building refurbishment, modification or alteration is a highly sustainable project choice for the modern adaption of existing buildings. We are experienced in providing advice on BREEAM requirements and targets and have worked on numerous projects requiring these inputs. With an enviable portfolio of completed works, we can deliver highly sympathetic & successful modification and alteration schemes.
Where listed status requires, our team will retain & restore original features, reconfiguring elements to expertly blend old with new.
Our specialists are made up of experienced project managers, highly skilled crafts-persons & our approved, trusted supply chain. In short, Restore London are able to execute full refurbishment projects to the very highest level of excellence.
New build masonry projects often complement other restoration works such as extending or adapting existing buildings.
Natural stone remains one of the most sustainable building materials in use. Unlike many other materials, quarrying and fabrication of stone releases no embedded carbon making it an environmentally responsible choice. Relatively low maintenance & natural waterproofing coupled by excellent durability and insulation properties, further adds attractiveness to the specification of natural stone in new build projects.
Restore London’s team are responsible for the construction of many iconic natural stone facades such as the Sainsbury wing of the National Gallery, 10 St Marys Axe, Pall Mall and the new easterly entrance to the National Portrait Gallery. We have overseen the design of numerous complex stone fixing systems and provided innovative design solutions.
Specialising in the design, manufacture, & installation of natural stone, terracotta, faience, & pre-cast concrete, our knowledgeable team are able to deliver new build masonry projects and have delivered many successful schemes.
Our projects include specialist heritage crafts such as banker stone masonry, lime plastering, tuck pointing, mosaic and terrazzo restoration, stained glass restoration, traditional roofing, architectural metal work, timber window repair and much more.
We also provide other heritage services such as French polishing, gilding, stone carving and high-end decorative finishes.
