Façade Retention Services

Façade retention is a crucial service for preserving the external appearance of a building during redevelopment or refurbishment projects. At Securak, we offer expert façade retention solutions that ensure the structural integrity of your building’s façade is maintained while allowing for internal demolition or redevelopment to take place.

Whether you’re looking to retain a historic façade as part of a modern redevelopment or need to preserve the aesthetic value of a building during refurbishment, our team has the expertise and equipment to carry out the work safely and efficiently.

With our experience, we help to balance architectural preservation with the needs of your development, ensuring that the façade remains safe and intact throughout the process.

What is Façade Retention?

Façade retention is the process of preserving the exterior walls or facades of a building while carrying out internal demolition or major construction work. This service is often used in projects where the façade holds historical or architectural significance or needs to be preserved as part of a new design.

The retention process typically involves installing temporary support structures to protect the façade from damage, while internal demolition and redevelopment can proceed. Once the internal works are complete, the original façade can be integrated into the new building structure.

Our façade retention services include:

  • Surveying and assessing the condition of the façade
  • Designing and installing temporary support structures
  • Securing the façade during demolition or redevelopment
  • Removing and restoring elements of the façade if required
  • Reinforcing and integrating the façade into the new structure after internal works
