Façade retention involves keeping the front or selected walls of an existing building during demolition and new construction. It's a popular choice for projects where the original frontage has historical or aesthetic value, but the interior structure is no longer fit for purpose. This approach allows you to maintain Royston's unique streetscape while creating modern, functional spaces. It gives you the best of both worlds: the timeless appeal of the old, and the efficiency of the new.

The success of any façade retention project hinges on careful design and planning. We begin with a detailed survey of the existing structure, assessing its condition and identifying any structural weaknesses. Our experienced engineers then develop a bespoke retention scheme, carefully considering the loads and stresses involved. Temporary support systems are designed and installed to ensure the stability of the façade throughout the demolition and construction phases. Our team works closely with architects and structural engineers to create a design that is both aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound. We’re there to give you the support you need.
