Every Project Counts was appointed to carry out essential external repairs and redecoration works to this prestigious building, with the project requiring completion ahead of a Royal Visit.

The central London location presented logistical challenges, demanding careful planning and programming to ensure the safe movement of traffic and protection of the general public throughout the works. As part of the Crown Estate, the building also required strict adherence to approved repair methods and meticulous selection of colours for the external decoration, ensuring compliance with heritage standards.

Thanks to the professionalism and attention to detail of our team, the works were completed to the highest standard and delivered on time for the Royal Visit.

The Existing grade 2 listed farmhouse was dilapidated and need upgrading to modern standards.

The farmhouse at Fountains Farm, Harlow had been unlived in for a number of years. The farmhouse formed what was part of the Harlow Council housing stock and so it was decided to upgrade this once beautiful 17th century cottage to modern standards and in line with its grade 2 listing.

The repairs were extensive throughout the property along with the need to stop the subsidence to the north-eastern corner. All of the repairs were carried out in a sympathetic way and the finished project transformed the building back to its former glory.

The works consisted of the following...

• Overhaul the existing peg tile roof and replace defective flashing
• Repair of the existing timber facia and soffits
• Insulation upgrade
• Replacement and repair of cast iron RWP
• Repair and restoration of the existing box sash windows
• Apply new Lime plaster to walls
• Roofing repairs
• Re-wire and mechanical upgrade
• Replacement and repair of featheredge weatherboard externally
• Underpinning structure

The new copper guttering formed part of an existing box gutter which had failed and become inoperable. The new seamed guttering was in keeping with the conservation requirements and although not visible from below looked amazing on completion.

Every Project Counts were contracted to repoint the front elevation of a building associated with the Natural History Museum at Tring. The building was occupied through the duration of the works so Every Project Counts liaised with occupants to ensure work was carried out with minimal
disruption to them.

The work was undertaken by an approved specialist brickwork contractor with experience of "Tuck Pointing". A sample was first completed and quality approved before work began. A mixture of non-hydraulic lime mortar was tinted to match the existing brickwork. With care and precision this filled horizontal bed joins and perpends to create the "Tuck Pointing" finish.

A final quality inspection was carried out and the client was very satisfied with the quality of the work.
