Concrete repairs and remediation

We identified a range of defects that we believed were caused by structural issues, and recommended appointing a qualified structural engineer to assess them. Key works include:

Concrete repairs across all elevations, including a specialist design for pinning back the decorative concrete fins on the façades
Replacement of defective structural elements such as lintels
Waterproofing to all balconies on the rear elevation, following the concrete repairs
Replacement of defective timber and other external elements

JYM are providing lead design, project management, Building Safety Advisor and Principal Designer services, working with other consultants to establish the extent of the problems and developing the specification for the external works, from scoping and tendering through to completion.

Construction is due to complete in late 2026.
