Client. A R Stockton
Contract Value. £200K
This historically significant 19th century canal warehouse building had regrettably received full height sheet metal cladding to its facade many years ago. This had resulted in water being trapped and penetrating into the fabric of the building causing considerable damage.
Dickinson Waugh were commissioned to obtain statutory consents and provide technical advice and specifications for the renovation and repair works.
Expertise knowledge of the technology and materials available for a particular period and indeed location is essential when carrying out repairs and alterations to historic buildings.
Conversely, understanding how modern techniques can help preserve and restore traditional building fabric and structure can often result in dynamic solutions.
The client was delighted with the completed project and with the ongoing regeneration works in Manchester, this building now sits well in a modern environment.
