Before and After – Picture House

Before and After – Picture House

Here’s the latest in our series of Before and After stories, The Picture House in Bolton.

We worked as main contractor for Irwell Valley Housing Association after investigations following a serious fire at a neighbouring student accommodation building found that the timber cladding, timber battens, breather membrane and cement particle board used in the timber clad areas were non-compliant.

The association appointed Hamilton to remove and replace the non-compliant timber decking and we worked with Wetherby Building Systems, which produced a Project Specification for their EpsiBrick External Wall Insulation System to complement the surrounding buildings.

Our expert teams teams carried out the façade removal and replacement and a striking red brick finish, which replaced tired and faded timber, has had a hugely positive impact on the aesthetics of the building.
