Durrants House

Project overview

Specialist repair and conservation works to the historic building fabric at Durrants House.

K Dean Building Services undertook specialist repair and conservation works at Durrants House, Gloucester Court, Croxley Green. The project required a sympathetic approach to the existing roofline, traditional brickwork and prominent chimney stacks, with repairs planned around the character and condition of the historic property.

Scope of works

• Inspection and assessment of existing historic fabric
• Specialist repairs to traditional brick chimney stacks
• Localised brickwork and masonry repairs
• Roofline and associated weathering repairs
• Careful removal and reinstatement of affected materials
• Protection of retained historic fabric during the works
• Making good using materials and techniques appropriate to the existing building

Delivery

Access and repair methods were selected to protect the existing building fabric and retain the visual character of the property. The works demonstrate K Dean’s capability in carefully managed heritage repair projects where existing materials, detailing and appearance are central to the finished result.
