Facade retention is a demolition technique where we keep the front or external walls of a building while demolishing and rebuilding everything behind it. It's often suitable when the facade has historical or architectural value, or when planning regulations require preserving the existing streetscape. If you're looking to maintain the character of a building in Sunbury-On-Thames, facade retention could be a great option.

The process takes careful planning and execution. Rokk Demolition & Salvage Ltd starts with a thorough structural assessment of the existing facade to determine its stability and identify any necessary repairs. We then design a support scheme to hold the facade in place during demolition and construction. This might involve using steel bracing, temporary walls, or other structural supports. Demolition work is then undertaken behind the facade, and the new structure is built, eventually tying into and supporting the retained facade.
