Passionate facade remediation experts: preserving buildings of the past to enrich communities of the future

Home to a diverse range of small businesses, the heritage restoration was highly complex, carried out in a live environment with extensive project planning required due to challenges with site access, working at heights and hazardous materials on site.

The pre-delivery stage was particularly critical to undergoing work outside of hours and reducing disruption/noise throughout the works.

The scope included:

• Preliminaries and drawings
• Window sealant works
• Timber frame recoating and repair
• Glazing putty repair
• Parapet capping sealant works
• Security bar works
• Masonry repointing and crack stitching
• Balustrade corrosion works
• Cavity flashing works
• Guttering works
• Slate roof tile replacement

CORE’s strong understanding of the intricacies of heritage remediation combined with our team’s passion for sustainable and cost-efficient solutions has proudly seen the Grafton Bond Building’s facade restored to its full potential.
