We’re currently carrying out boundary wall restoration works at St Nicholas Church within a protected conservation area.
Following a structural engineer’s report commissioned by Stevenage Borough Council, we were appointed to carefully dismantle and rebuild a 30m unsafe wall between the church grounds and neighbouring residential property.
The works include:
- Making safe and dismantling the existing wall
- Hand excavation to protect tree roots
- Installing new concrete foundations
- Rebuilding using reclaimed original bricks wherever possible
With conservation approvals, matching materials, and protected trees all requiring careful consideration, this project is a great example of construction working alongside heritage preservation.
