The Sekforde Arms

About
A building rich with Stout history. 34 Sekforde Arms has been a prominent building in London for many years ever since it became the renowned ‘Charrington toby ale and stout’ sometime before 1839. As a favourite for local businessman and factory workers alike its local charm never failed to pull in the clientele.
In 2015 it was rebranded as Sekforde Arms and undertook a refurbishment. During this time a plaque of beige tiles to the left of the Sekforde Street entrance, featuring the ‘flying tankard’, a raised ‘Toby’, and ‘THE HOUSE OF TOBY’. was uncovered.
Scope of Work
Williams Restoration undertook the award winning restoration of the Sekforde Arms facades. This included the removal of cementitious render and cementitious masonry mortar and replacing this with a sympathetic Lime mortar. This was used in conjunction with locally sourced materials. Once complete a soot wash was applied to the brickwork, this was to tone down the appearance of the new brickwork to match the existing and surrounding properties.
Williams Restoration have been named as the 'Restoration Specialist' responsible for the award winning project at The Sekforde Arms.
