Frankham was the chosen partner for the comprehensive external restoration of Peckham Rye Station, one of South London’s finest Grade II listed Victorian stations, built in 1865.
- BAM Nuttall, for Network Rail
- Peckham, London
The Building Surveying and Infrastructure Engineering teams at Frankham were employed by BAM Nuttall to provide a scope of works and technical specification for restoring Peckham Rye station including:
- Roof repairs and replacement to the four wings
- Installation of new roof cresting
- Structural assessment of main roof for new cresting
- Repairs for main roof
- External redecorations
- Window repairs
- Cast iron gutter replacement
- Design of new decorative balustrade ledge
- Stone & brickwork repairs and repointing in traditional lime-based materials
- Structural assessment of building for accessing scaffolding
The teams also provided services on the outside of the building with stone & brickwork repairs and repointing using traditional lime-based materials, and the design of a new decorative balustrade ledge to replace an existing damaged ledge.
The success of this project was due to a winning blend of innovation and experience. By understanding the features and challenges of the existing historic materials, we were able to adapt and preserve them to meet the project requirements.
