Existing condition
Painted courtyard masonry showed deteriorated coatings, cracking and evidence of previous repairs. Areas requiring
remedial work were assessed during preparation.
DOFF cleaning and coating removal
DOFF cleaning was used to remove the deteriorated paint coatings from the courtyard masonry, exposing the
underlying brickwork for inspection and subsequent repairs. Image 03 shows the cleaning equipment; image 04 shows
the wider courtyard after removal. Do not imply that mechanical stripping or a different coating-removal system was
used.
Masonry, crack and architectural repairs
Localised masonry and crack repairs were undertaken, including Helifix helical reinforcement where required.
Lime-compatible repair methods were used where appropriate to the historic fabric. Stone and window-head details received localised repairs. Do not claim independent structural certification without supporting evidence.
Finishes and completed work
Following repairs, surfaces were prepared and decorated. Breathable KEIM mineral coatings were used on
appropriate masonry surfaces, not necessarily every element of the building. Historic sash windows and associated
details were prepared and decorated. The completed courtyard photographs show the final finish and architectural
detailing.
