The Henry Moore Project

The Henry Moore foundation was a very interesting project due to the complex cuts and resin splices that had to been dome.

The sills on the conservatory had started to fall apart due to ill fitting of the gutters above that had allowed the rain water to flow over the gutters and back on to the sills causing them to rot away. The sills therefore all needed replacement.

We started by removing all of the existing glass panels, storing them safely, cutting out the damaged sills and removing the first 250mm of the glazing frames.

We then made and fitted the new sill with the new 250mm glazing sections we previously removed. These were held in place with epoxy resin and carbon fibre rods provided by RotaFix® .

Once the epoxy resin we could then replace the glazing panels and make the glazing beads.

The flank face of the conservatory had been completely ruined by rain and lack of flashing and drainage therefore we had to replace the entire flank wall structure.

We finished by making new brackets for the existing guttering so that the same problem did not re-occur.
