Acresfield is an iconic building, constructed in 1980 and situated in St Ann’s Square in the heart of Manchester city centre. It has undergone a significant transformation and is now home to offices. Acresfield is surrounded by busy pedestrianised walk ways and so thoughtful programming was required to keep disruption to the public to a minimum. This included the use of safety barriers and hoarding to ensure the health and safety of the general public and nearby building occupiers. Quadriga were employed to carry out various restoration works.
Works included:
- Removal of vegetation to roof and treatment with an appropriate biocide to prevent re-growth.
- Phased strip of roof slates.
- Replacement of defective battens and felt
- Reinstatement of original roof slates where possible and replacement of damaged slates.
- Replacement of lead and rainwater goods.
- Superheated steam clean of the façade to remove dirt and deposits.
