Stone Repairs – Deansgate

Situated on the edge of Spinningfields in Manchester, this Grade II listed building’s facade was in desperate need of attention both internally and externally to allow this historic building to provide up to 45,000 sq ft of Grade A office space, along with over 17,000 sq ft of retail space on Manchester’s highest profile street. SUKR were appointed by Contract Services to carry out the restoration programme of the external facade which included Doff cleaning, pointing and stone repairs to the delaminated sandstone ashlar on window reveals, cills and entablature.

The main element of works for SUKR’s skilled craftsman focused around the careful removal of all defective stone work; followed by the installation of stainless steel dowels and wire, set into pre-drilled resin filled holes to allow the specified hand placed repair mortar to progressively restore and shape the repairs back to their original profile.

All of the contracted works were completed on programme, within budget and to the satisfaction of the client and appointed Architect.
