What is Facade Retention?

Facade retention involves preserving the front or selected walls of a building during demolition and construction. This technique is often used where the existing facade has historical or aesthetic value, while the rest of the structure needs to be replaced or updated. We carefully dismantle the building behind the facade, putting in place the necessary support to retain the facade to give new life to the building behind, while protecting a slice of the past.

When is Facade Retention Suitable for Your Devizes Project?

Facade retention is a great option for projects where:

  • The existing facade has significant architectural or historical value.
  • Planning regulations require the retention of the facade.
  • The design aims to blend the old with the new.
  • You want to save money while retaining some of the old infrastructure.
    If any of these apply to you, lets discuss the best option to help you achieve your goals.

The Facade Retention Process: A Careful Approach

Unmatched Reliability and Speed

Our facade retention process takes careful consideration to structural integrity and public safety. It typically involves:

  1. Detailed Survey: We conduct a thorough structural survey of the existing facade to assess its condition and identify any weaknesses.
  2. Design and Planning: Our team develops a detailed retention scheme, working closely with structural engineers to design the necessary support system.
  3. Installation of Support System: A temporary support structure, such as steel bracing or scaffolding, is installed to support the facade during demolition.
  4. Careful Demolition: The building behind the facade is carefully demolished, leaving the facade intact.
  5. Integration with New Structure: The new building is constructed, integrating with the retained facade.
  6. Removal of Support System: Once the new structure is complete and provides permanent support to the facade, the temporary support system is removed.
