Emergency chimney removal and rebuilding, facade conservation and reroofing from pantiles to Scottish slate at a Category A museum that remained operational.
The challenge
Emergency chimney defects and wider fabric repairs had to be addressed at a Category A listed museum that remained operational and open to visitors.
Restorex delivery
Restorex removed and rebuilt the chimney, conserved the façade and reroofed the building from pantiles to Scottish slate, coordinating conservation work with the live museum environment.
Outcome
The urgent high-level defects and wider external fabric were addressed within one conservation-led programme while museum operations continued.
