Bromley Town Hall, well where do I start? Firstly, UK Decs Ltd priced this building which is split into three number jobs.

1 – Offices

2 – Restaurant

3 – Hotel

All was priced in January 2021, we heard by our client at the time Phelan Construction that they were pulling the plug on this, so when WFC Contractors called us in mid-2021 to price the work it was a quick turnaround and start with them.

The building was stood derelict for many years and having several fires it was not in the best of conditions, the building was also damp from top to bottom.

Dulux was brought on board by myself to help with the scope of works, they called many times to do the damp test all over and recommended paint that was going to be suitable for the building. We also used Earthborn Paints on the old and line plaster.

Lots of areas had to be repainted some being four, five or even six times due to damp coming through, especially in the old air raid shelters under the building.

Platform towers and scaffolding were used for access in the main rooms such as the private lounge etc.

When painting the building we experienced many unusual substrates from bars to prison cells to air raid shelters to court rooms, ballrooms, offices, canteens all under one roof.

All this work was to be completed in 12 months as well as a new area in the newly formed Hotel.

Bromley Town Hall was a pleasure to work on, not only for its wealth of history and visits from Kings, Popstars and Famous Villains being held in the cells.
