Diagnosis
Following the successful completion of waterproofing the vaults of Phase 1, Stonehouse were invited back as specialist contractors for the project to create the new Judges’ Robe Rooms. We were told that Dickens would have recognised these vaults as unchanged!
Solution
A meshed cavity drain membrane system was proposed as this is fully reversible for this Grade 1 listed building. This was agreed and accepted by English Heritage, we were also contracted to carry out all plastering works over the meshed membrane. The curved archways are particularly difficult to plaster aesthetically.
