The main contractor, Thomas Johnstone Ltd, is currently working through remedial and stabilisation works, as well as continuing to remove dangerous pieces of structure and strip back what’s left of the existing finishes and fittings. After the roof was removed it became clear that the existing wall head had been partially damaged in the fire and would need to be reinstated before the new roof could be erected.
As finishes have been removed it also became apparent that previously unexposed areas of structure would require intervention to stabilise. Structural alterations for the new layout are also being carried out at this time.
