Restaurant refurbishment Wales award winning
Client : Brunning & Price
Value : £ 1,000,000
Type : Refurbishment
We are very proud of this refurbished restaurant alteration of a derelict and structurally unsafe former corn mill building dating back to 1786.
The project included temporary damming of the existing mill race to remove deposited silt / debris, formation of new conservatory style extension and decking over the mill race and rapids and the refurbishment of the existing water wheel (unused for around 50 years). The age, history and prominent location resulted in huge local interest, requiring tactful and diplomatic management.
- Working within and over the River Dee.
- Erection and maintenance of temporary works (including dam and façade bracing).
- Working with CADW to ensure sympathetic detailing and construction.
