Description

The former Crown Court Building is a grade II* listed civic building which has been an official court building for the city since 1810 until its closure in 1992. The project comprises of full works to the shell of the building and making the external fabric secure and weatherproof. Comprehensive surveys were undertaken during the period of October 2015 - March 2016 by Thomas Ford & Partners which have identified aspects such as timber deterioration, structural bearings and poor plaster conditions however, there is always a risk of unforeseen works being discovered during repairs due to the age and deterioration of the building. Externally the surveys have identified considerable damage to all roofs, missing slate tiles, lead flashing damaged or stolen, rotting roof timbers and severely damaged gutters and down pipes. There is structural damage to parapets, some brickwork and window lintels. Also, considerable internal damage has been caused by constant water ingress.
