Our works included specialist cleaning of the facades using a super-heated water system, hammer testing & surveying of all facades, flat & moulded stucco repairs, full external decoration, window repair & decoration & intricate picking out of the decorative frieze. Restoration works were also undertaken to the balustrades & iconic flambeaux lamps as well as cleaning & repair works to the 3 internal lightwells.

Restoration works were undertaken to all elevations as part of this extensive restoration project & the building enjoys a new lease life to mark its 194th year since construction. The Client and professional team were delighted with the quality, programme & project management outputs from the combined Curo and Restore London project teams.
