Facade retention is a specialist demolition technique where the front or exterior walls of a building are kept in place while the rest of the structure is demolished and rebuilt. You might consider facade retention for several reasons: planning restrictions in conservation areas often require it, you might want to maintain the historical look of a building, or you might simply want to incorporate a unique architectural feature into your new design. Whatever your reason, Rokk Demolition & Salvage Ltd can advise on the suitability of facade retention for your project.

Successful facade retention relies on a meticulous design and support process. Our team works closely with structural engineers to assess the existing facade, identify any weaknesses, and design a temporary support system that will keep the facade stable during demolition and construction. This might involve installing steel bracing, scaffolding, or other structural supports. We make sure that every step is taken to protect the integrity of the facade during the project.
