Structural Integrity and Exterior Enhancement

Dale Structural Repairs was entrusted with a multifaceted project at New Little Mill in Ancoats, focusing on both essential structural repairs and significant enhancements to the building’s exterior. Our role encompassed ensuring the building’s long-term stability and revitalising its visual appeal.

Addressing Structural Challenges & Enhancing Exterior Aesthetics

The New Little Mill project presented a dual challenge: addressing critical internal structural issues and undertaking comprehensive external restoration. Internally, the presence of failed concrete lintels necessitated careful assessment and a robust repair strategy. Externally, the project involved structural alterations to the elevations, alongside detailed stone repairs, replacements, and thorough cleaning and restoration.

Collaborative Expertise from Specification to Completion

DSR’s approach to New Little Mill was characterised by close collaboration and technical proficiency. Working in tandem with the project’s structural engineer, we facilitated the development of a precise specification for the internal lintel repairs, ensuring a durable and effective solution. Our skilled team then executed these repairs with meticulous attention to detail. Simultaneously, we undertook the structural alterations to the external elevations, followed by expert stone repairs, the careful replacement of damaged elements, and comprehensive cleaning and restoration work to rejuvenate the building’s facade.

A Renewed Structure and Enhanced Presence in Ancoats

DSR is proud to have successfully delivered both structural reinforcement and aesthetic improvements to New Little Mill. Our collaborative approach and technical expertise have ensured the building’s continued structural integrity while significantly enhancing its external appearance within the Ancoats landscape. This project stands as a testament to our ability to manage complex challenges and deliver comprehensive restoration solutions.

If you have a project requiring structural repairs, external restoration, or a combination of both, please contact DSR. We are eager to discuss your specific requirements and offer our expertise to ensure a successful outcome. Let us bring our commitment to quality and comprehensive solutions to your next project.
