Facade retention is a specialised demolition technique where the front or key elevations of a building are carefully preserved while the rest of the structure is demolished and rebuilt. This is often used where the facade has historical or architectural significance, but the building behind it is no longer fit for purpose. Before you even think about going ahead, it's important to check if facade retention is right for your project. A careful consideration needs to be taken into account, ensuring the existing facade can be safely supported and integrated into any new design or structure. We work with you to figure this out early on.

We don't just knock things down; we understand the careful planning and execution required for successful facade retention. Rokk Demolition & Salvage Ltd employs a meticulous process, beginning with a thorough structural survey to assess the facade's condition and stability. We then design and implement a bespoke support system, using temporary steelwork to hold the facade in place during the demolition phase.
