The Bothey Clock Tower

The clock tower at The Bothey in Ottershaw Park, Surrey is an 18th century structure which had fallen into disrepair over the past 20 to 30 years.

The main structure consists of four main supporting timber legs which come up through the house, these had decayed to a point where the structure was unsafe.

After installing a complicated system of scaffolding to support the structure we removed each leg at a time and replaced with green oak timber sections using glass fibre rods and epoxy resin.

We then stripped off all of the lead work and panels encasing the legs, replaced the base to support the new lead and fitted the new oak panels, we then replaced the timber panels under the copper roof, these had been ruined by the weather.

The Bothey clock tower has now been restored to its former glory.
