Wardour Street

About

The Wardour project was a nice change for us. It was internal. Unfortunately the building was subject to a very common problem. Gypsum plaster and cementitious mortar. These materials used on new buildings in conjunction with other cementitious materials work as they’re created. Unfortunately this is not the case on historic buildings. This building for example, originally built using Lime mortars was suffering greatly. As the Lime expels the moisture it has nowhere to go, therein sitting and slowly disintegrating the surrounding masonry.

Scope of Work

Williams Restoration undertook extensive internal restoration works at Wardour Street. This included removing gypsum plaster from the walls, cleaning the subsequent, exposed masonry, removing the cementitious mortar from the brickwork and replacing this with a sympathetic, locally sourced Lime mortar. Upon completion, as per the architects specification we then applied a ‘Stormdry’ breathable sealant to the masonry.

We worked with Williams on our RIBA award winning project The Sekforde, a Grade II Listed Regency period pub. The brief was to re-point the brickwork to the listed façade, which had been badly affected from the removal of cement based render that had been applied sometime around the 1930s...

The Williams Restoration team took on the whole job, from removing the cement render through to re-decoration. There's no avoiding the fact that this type of work is messy and sometimes noisy, but they tried hard to minimise nuisance to ourselves and our neighbours. They did a good job, and the facade now looks very smart and authentic.
