Description:

​

Brick Lunette construction, repointing​ and brickwork cleaning

​

The Grade II listed town mansion was originally built in 1738 by Architect G Leoni for the second viscount Shannon, with repairs and alterations by Chambers for the 3rd Viscount Weymouth in 1769.

​

In 2012, C&D Restoration were commissioned to use their specialist tradesman to undertake extensive alterations to the basement brick vaults to accommodate new office space and provide a bright working environment.

​

Cleaning the Brickwork

The existing brickwork was heavily contaminated from dirt, to moss to salts leached out due to heavy water ingress and even painted in some areas. We used a combination of the DOFF and TORC cleaning systems to remove as much of this contamination as possible.

​

Construction of New Brick Lunettes

C&D Restoration were also employed as the specialist contractor to construct 3 no. new brick lunettes (arched openings) providing new passage ways from room to room.

​

Re-pointing of the Vaults

Following the cleaning of the brickwork, the brick vaults required repointing 100%, in Hydraulic Lime Mortar.
