Project Overview
- Shrewsbury House is a 100 Year old, Grade 2 Listed, community centre located at the top of Shooters Hill, Woolwich.
- Our scaffolding division has been working to provide a temporary roof to facilitate much-needed roof and window repairs to the stunning grade 2 listed building.
- We then monitored and amended any issues that arose during the roofing process.
Project Key Challenges
- As a grade 2 listed building, there are restrictions on what can be done when erecting a scaffold.
- The work was challenging because it is a live, occupied building that needed to continue functioning. The team had to coordinate closely with the building owners and residents.
- Specific challenges included managing an exclusion zone and public protection, as well as designing a bespoke temporary roof structure that met all the requirements for a listed building.
- As the building is located at the top of a hill, the wind needed to be factored into the design.
