There are many reasons why you might choose to retain a facade. It could be due to planning regulations that protect historically significant buildings, or simply because you want to maintain the unique character of the area. Facade retention offers a sustainable solution, reducing demolition waste and preserving valuable architectural elements. It also creates a striking visual contrast between old and new, adding character and value to your development.

Facade retention isn't simply about keeping the front of a building standing. It requires careful planning and execution. Our experienced team begins with a thorough structural survey to assess the existing facade's condition. We then develop a detailed design that incorporates the retention system, ensuring the facade is adequately supported throughout the demolition and construction phases.
This often involves installing temporary steelwork to brace the facade while the rest of the building is demolished. We then integrate the facade into the new structure, creating a seamless transition between old and new. Rokk Demolition & Salvage Ltd understands the importance of getting this right.
