A London-based scaffolding firm has supplied access scaffolds and interim roofs for a major renovation and expansion project of the renowned Town Hall, costing multiple millions of pounds.
The company informed the media that the project began in November 2019 with an 18-month timeline. Despite disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic, completion of the renovation is still expected to occur by the end of this year.
The grade-II listed building, built in 1906, has a rich history, including being the site of David Bowie’s wedding to Angie in 1970 and being featured in the 2019 film “Bohemian Rhapsody”. It’s also reported to have an underground nuclear fallout shelter from the Cold War era. The multi-million-pound refurbishment project will transform the building into a 73,000 square foot co-working office space, featuring a cafe/bar, communal spaces both indoor and outdoor, and a hotel themed around David Bowie.
The design will preserve many historic elements, such as restoring cornices, domes, ornate stone staircase, and fixing the red brick exterior. Upon completion, the restoration will provide an economic boost to the town of Bromley and a new destination for the public after a year of lockdowns.
Scaffolding Direct London is recognized for designing, supplying, and erecting scaffolding for challenging projects, creating access scaffolds for various buildings to ensure a secure work environment for tradespeople working at heights. Additionally, they have set up temporary roofs, each standing on its own but separate from each other, to protect against unpredictable British weather during projects.
Ricki Grenfell, owner of Scaffolding Direct London and project lead, comments: “We’ve worked on many intriguing projects, but they have come with some challenges, especially with temporary roof installations. Nevertheless, once a project is completed, it gives us a sense of pride to say ‘I was a part of that.'”
