Diamond Cottage, Gresford
We were commissioned by WCBC to knock down sections of an unsafe wall within residential properties and to install a new footing and to rebuild it, using reclaimed bricks and lime mortar with a cock and hen topping. We then had to landscape the gardens and install boundary fencing. Most of the site was soil and seeded with a 10m tarmac path on the sloped section. The job involved moving large quantities of material in and out of the tight garden with difficult access.
Works Included:
Liaising with local residents
Fencing off the gardens and making a safe working area
Demolition of wall and outbuildings
Cleaning up reclaimed bricks
Reinforced concrete footing for wall
Over 100m2 of wall rebuilt using reclaimed brick and lime mortar
