External restoration at CATS Global School, Holborn

PROJECT OVERVIEW

External restoration at CATS Global School, Holborn, London — scaffolding, roof, window and brick repairs, then a commercial facade refresh.

We were appointed by CATS Global to restore the exterior at CATS Global School in Holborn. The package was scaffolding, roof, window and brick repairs, and a facade refresh. That is the job we came to do, and that is the job we finished.

External restoration on a Holborn school elevation is commercial painting and decorating against a public London street — work we take across London and the South East.

Holborn is a public, working street. External restoration here is judged from the pavement as much as it is judged on a snag list. The roof, windows and brickwork have to be repaired, the scaffold has to let that work happen, and the finished facade has to look like one elevation rather than a run of patched repairs.

The project

CATS Global School Holborn is an education building. We worked for CATS Global on the external restoration. A facade refresh is not a paint-only instruction when the roof, windows and brickwork still need repair. The repairs have to be done so the refresh has something sound to sit on.

Scaffolding sat with this package because the roof, window and brick repairs, and the facade refresh, could not be reached from the pavement. The scaffold was the access for the work, not a separate show of plant. Roof repairs, window repairs and brick repairs were carried out as part of the same elevation, then the facade was refreshed so the repaired fabric and the finished face read as one piece of work.

The work on this job was scaffolding, roof, window and brick repairs, and a facade refresh. We reported that package to CATS Global and closed it as one elevation, not as a set of separate visits.

The client relationship sat with CATS Global. Their team set the sequence, received the queries and closed the package. External restoration on a school in Holborn has to sit inside the protection, access and handover rules for that site, and that is how we ran it.

What we did

  • Scaffolding
  • Roof repairs
  • Window repairs
  • Brick repairs
  • Facade refresh

Working on this site

Working on this site meant treating the elevation as one job. Scaffold goes up so the roof, windows and brickwork can be reached. While the scaffold is up, the Holborn pavement still has to take people. Materials, waste and drop zones have to be planned so the street can keep moving and the working zone stays inside the scaffold.

Roof, window and brick repairs fail in patches, not as a uniform facade. We repaired what was in the package rather than dressing over defects and hoping a refresh would hide them. The facade refresh came after the repairs so we were not finishing over work that still needed to be cut back or rebuilt.

External restoration in this part of London also means control of dust, debris and wet work next to a public footway. We worked inside the protection set up for the scaffold, kept the drop zones clean, and handed each stage back in a condition the street could live with.

The finished face of CATS Global School Holborn has to look like the building, not like a site. Repaired roof, windows and brickwork, then a facade refresh, closed as one elevation. That is the standard we held on this job.

This is external restoration — scaffolding, roof, window and brick repairs, and a facade refresh — for CATS Global, at CATS Global School Holborn. That is the job.

We are CHAS and SSIP accredited and 100% RIDDOR-free.
