Northwich Library Renovation

The library closed to the public to allow structural engineers to carry out stabilisation work and further structural investigations on the timber frame listed building.

Emergency stabilisation works were completed; including structural scaffolding to secure the west elevation. Extensive investigation works and technical surveys were initiated to enable the immediate repair strategy and inform the wider renovation project.

Repair works to two thirds of the west elevation took place. Repair works included safe asbestos removal from floor voids, replacement of floor joists and floorboards and replacement and repair of elements of the timber frame on the west elevation.
