Facade Retention: Preserving London's History While Building for the Future
London's architectural landscape is a unique blend of historic charm and modern innovation. Facade retention is a specialised demolition technique that allows us to keep the external face of a building – its facade – while safely demolishing and rebuilding everything behind it. This approach is perfect for projects where you want to preserve the original look and character of a building, perhaps due to its historical significance or aesthetic appeal, whilst creating a modern, functional space within.

Is Facade Retention Right for Your Building Project? Key Considerations
Choosing facade retention involves careful consideration. We'll assess the existing structure to determine if the facade is suitable for retention, taking into account its condition, the design of the new building, and any potential challenges. Factors we look at include the structural integrity of the facade, the presence of any hazardous materials (like asbestos), and the logistics of supporting the facade during demolition and construction. We will conduct thorough structural surveys to provide peace of mind.
The Facade Retention Process: A Step-by-Step Guide
Unmatched Reliability and Speed
Our facade retention process is meticulous. First, we undertake a detailed survey of the existing building. Then, we install temporary structural supports to stabilise the facade. The rest of the building is then carefully demolished, leaving the facade intact. Finally, the new building is constructed behind the retained facade, integrating it seamlessly into the new design. Throughout the project, we closely monitor the facade's stability and make adjustments as needed.
