Work to be carried out next week;

The stone to the front elevation will continue to be fitted to the framing this coming week. The stone is fixed on metal rails which are bolted to the concrete panels. Noise will continue but it is more ‘drilling’ type noise and not hammering with heavy machines type noise. This work is crucial to getting the scaffold down. Between the stone panels is fire barrier called ‘siderise’.

Insulation to the rear walls will continue to be fitted.

Internal work within the new Flats will increase and to include further plastering and fitting of bathrooms. Walls will be closed and plumbing and electrics will advance.

Flat roof finishes to continue.

Air conditioning and ventilation works will continue in the new Flats.

Stainless steel roof to the main building will continue.

Currently, the start date for scaffold coming down is still around the end of March. It will take around 4 weeks so we can expect all scaffold to be gone by the end of April.
