Facade retention involves carefully supporting the front of a building – the facade – while the rest of the structure is demolished or significantly altered. This is often the right choice when:

• You want to maintain the historical or aesthetic appeal of a building.
• Planning regulations require preservation of the existing streetscape.
• Integrating an existing facade into a new development offers design advantages.
  Our team at Rokk Demolition & Salvage Ltd will assess your Bargoed property to determine if facade retention is a suitable option, taking into account the structural integrity of the facade, the planned development, and any relevant planning constraints.

Our approach to facade retention is meticulous and prioritises safety and structural integrity. The process typically involves:

1. Detailed Site Survey & Structural Assessment: A thorough examination of the facade and existing structure to identify any weaknesses or potential challenges.
2. Design & Planning: Development of a detailed support scheme, often involving temporary steelwork, to stabilise the facade during demolition and construction.
3. Careful Demolition: Controlled demolition of the existing structure behind the facade, ensuring the facade remains undisturbed.
4. Integration with New Construction: Seamless integration of the retained facade into the new building design.
5. Ongoing Monitoring: Regular monitoring of the facade throughout the project to ensure stability and prevent any unforeseen issues.
