As a company with over 20 years of tradition, we undertake many types of renovation projects in London. We are no strangers to working for the public sector – and that’s what we decided to write about today. Commercial refurbishment in London is an interesting topic because it requires a special, dedicated approach and attitude – we will explain this in detail based on our work for Kensington and Chelsea Council.
Regular readers of our blog probably already know that we like to undertake projects that are demanding and offer opportunities to develop our techniques and approaches. For this reason, we are very happy to have the opportunity to work for Kensington and Chelsea Council. This project involves the restoration of buildings both inside and out. They belong to parks located in Kensington.
Buildings that require restoration are examples of footprint architecture listed as Grade II. For this reason, it is necessary to use materials of appropriate quality – they must be selected precisely for the type of building so that it can be restored and secured for years to come, and not damaged. In addition to the materials, in this case, it will be necessary to use appropriate restoration techniques, which requires both specialized training of the team working on a given building, and a unique approach – patience, diligence and concentration. We will devote a separate article to the subject of the restoration of historic buildings in the future.
In addition to the general restoration of Kensington park buildings, the work will include roof replacement, plumbing, painting, masonry and tiling. As you can see, the project covers a wide range of renovation works, so they need to be carried out methodically and in close correlation with each other – any negligence will affect the results of the next stages.
As mentioned earlier, the public sector presents us with additional requirements and challenges. These are places where different worlds meet – private, public, business … renovation works must be carried out in such a way as not to jam the life of any of them. In this case, some places border on playgrounds where children play – and therefore occupational health and safety must be the absolute top priority.
Our employees are well aware of the conditions in which they work, therefore they ensure the highest safety standards and caution. Places where objects are renovated and painted are fenced off and appropriately marked – so as to minimize the risk of any dangerous accidents.
Of course, we are aware that the places where we provide our public utility painting and decoration services also require a specific approach. The character of some of these objects calls for seriousness and high personal culture. Our employees know it well, therefore they behave discreetly and professionally to make sure that they do not interfere with the professional activities taking place in these facilities, and that they will not disturb the applicants or guests.
Our employees have very well-developed Health and Safety principles. This is especially important when working on commercial and public use facilities. Commercial refurbishment in London deserves the highest standards of services, which is why we constantly train our employees in the field of safety standards and work in accordance with them.
Our painting team is fully accredited to ensure that we work in accordance with the strict health and safety guidelines of the local authority when carrying out any painting and decoration work on public buildings.
When we start working, we create a detailed action plan that takes into account the specifics of the place and how it is used – sidewalks, toilets or other elements of the facilities must be planned and made in accordance with the best industry practices. After completing the plan, we stick to it strictly so that the client receives exactly what he agreed on.
Commercial and public use facilities cannot afford downtime, so we strictly adhere to deadlines. We are helped in this by both the created project plan and personal care for the highest customer satisfaction with the services we provide.
While these days, limewash is primarily used for outdoor painting, it has a long tradition of being
used for finishing both the outside and inside walls of historic buildings. Considering such diverse uses of limewash paint, maybe it’s high time you’ve learned a thing or two about it?
While many home-grown renovators look at painting as simple and easy enough to skip
hiring a contractor and do on their own, there’s actually a lot to consider when preparing for
a painting project.
At Ignas we are very happy that the weather is slowly but steadily improving! Why is it so important
to us? Apart from the fact that we love the sun, these are also perfect conditions for painting and
decorating the outside of buildings!
