UPPERMILL CIVIC CENTRE – OLDHAM, GREATER MANCHESTER

Project – New extension to existing building
Stone Types – Lancashire and Yorkshire Grit stone
Products – Reclaimed Lancashire punched face walling and new sawn Yorkshire gritstone as well as masonry

The Challenge – The town planners required the extension to replicate the existing building and instructed the contractor to source the correct reclaimed walling and masonry materials.

The Solution – Traditional Stone’s project consultant met with the main contractor and members of the trust to discuss the new extension of the main building.

After identifying the existing walling stone and masonry, samples of the reclaimed and new masonry material were delivered to site for approval.

The walling stone was measured and coursed to aid speed of build and the masonry was produced in bespoke sizes in order to replicate the existing building. The order consisted of 350m2 of walling stone and 20 bespoke masonry window surrounds.
