Lloyds Bank facade restoration & repairs

Project Specification

Lyons Stonework was selected to undertake the intricate restoration and repair works on the Lloyds Bank façade (Blackpool). This project capitalized on our extensive heritage restoration experience and the specialist skills of our masons, all of whom hold CSCS Gold Cards in heritage restoration, ensuring the highest standards of craftsmanship and historical accuracy.

The restoration process involved several critical steps. Initially, former plastic repairs were meticulously removed, followed by the careful cutting out of heavily decayed masonry. For sections of the facade that remained structurally sound, we employed Lithomex to restore and replicate the original detailing. This technique was essential for maintaining the historical integrity of the building.

Our in-house manufacturing capabilities and the expertise of our skilled banker masons were pivotal to the project’s success. By templating and producing replacement masonry internally, we ensured a consistent quality and expedited the overall process. This approach also maintained a single point of accountability, enhancing project management and efficiency.

The precise site fixing of the replacement masonry seamlessly integrated the new with the existing structure, restoring both the facade’s integrity and its aesthetic appeal.

Lyons Stonework’s in-house expertise in heritage restoration played a crucial role in the successful completion of the Lloyds Bank facade project. Our commitment to quality, combined with comprehensive in-house capabilities, delivered a restoration that not only preserved the building’s historical significance but also ensured its safety and beauty for future generations. This project stands as a testament to our dedication to excellence in the field of heritage conservation.
