Deciding whether facade retention is the right choice for your project requires careful consideration. It's suitable for buildings where the facade has significant aesthetic or historical merit, even if the internal structure is no longer fit for purpose. We'll assess your building's condition, discuss your project goals, and advise on the feasibility of facade retention. Rokk Demolition & Salvage Ltd's experienced team will consider various factors, including the structural integrity of the facade, the design of the new building, and any planning restrictions in place.

Our facade retention process is carefully planned and executed to ensure the safety and stability of the existing facade. It typically involves these key stages:

• Detailed Survey and Assessment: A thorough inspection of the facade to identify any structural weaknesses or areas requiring repair.
• Design and Planning: Working closely with structural engineers and architects to develop a detailed plan for the retention works, including temporary support systems.
• Installation of Temporary Support: Installing scaffolding, propping, and bracing to support the facade during demolition and construction.
• Demolition of the Existing Structure: Carefully demolishing the existing building behind the facade, while ensuring the facade remains stable and protected.
• Integration with New Construction: Integrating the retained facade with the new building, ensuring a seamless and structurally sound connection.
• Removal of Temporary Support: Once the new structure is complete, the temporary support systems are carefully removed, leaving the retained facade as an integral part of the new building.
