Mullins house was in abit of a state when we first arrived on site...
The top half of the elevation was leaning backwards enough for the cornice to be taking in water rather than shedding it.
First thing to do was to get it cleaned off using the DOFF system.
We dismantled all the stone work down to the 1st floor window heads.
This uncovered a rotten lintel beam which ran the entire length of the elevation... This explained the sinking of the brickwork allowing the ashlar to buckle and lean back.
The floor joists were secured to prevent any further movement.
Those joists arnt going anywhere!! Big stainless steel plate!
The ashlar was built back up and the brickwork was reinstated.
New window jambs and heads.
Finally the elevation is sheltercoated and the scaffold is struck...
It looks amazing!!
