The first step is determining if facade retention is a suitable approach for your project. Several factors come into play, including the structural integrity of the existing facade, planning regulations within Harpenden, and your design aspirations. Our team can conduct a thorough assessment to evaluate the feasibility of facade retention, providing you with honest and practical advice. We consider aspects such as the condition of the walls, the overall design scheme, and the potential for integrating the retained facade with the new structure.

A critical element of facade retention is providing adequate structural support. The retained facade needs to be carefully braced and supported throughout the demolition and construction phases. Rokk Demolition & Salvage Ltd uses state-of-the-art propping systems and temporary works designs to ensure the stability of the facade. Our structural engineers work closely with the demolition team to create a robust support structure that can withstand the loads and stresses involved.
