Blue Coat Academy
Our team of experts provided access works for essential roof maintenance on the 19th century Henshaw building at the Blue Coat Academy.
Blue Coat Academy Trust is a Church of England education facility. The academy is grounded in tradition and history. Their historic campus which dates to the 19th century has been restored and developed extensively.
The Henshaw building which was first constructed in 1834 by renown English architect Richard Lane is known locally for its austere Greek inspired classicism in design.
The Grade II listed heritage building required a full re-roofing project, undertaken by our clients.
Protecting the fabric of the building was our team’s top priority. Due to the building’s monument status our team of experts implemented strict guidelines when erecting the bespoke scaffolding solution.
Using the traditional tube and fit scaffold meant that our team could leave the surface of the building free from installing positive ties further damaging the iconic structure. Given the nature of the contractor’s client our team worked meticulously to key deadlines during term time and weekends to ensure the project was completely to high standards as quickly as possible.
