This building was initially a commercial building with a large return .The clients both in the entertainment industry wanted to upgrade the entrance and put together a conservation plan to determine the repair approach. The repair of the front entrance steps and the doorway surround was applied for as a grant . This involved a specialist heritage contractor and the works were kept to restore the surround which had elements of the sand stone detail missing. The specialist contractor was Shane Nolan of Nolan contractors which worked on the cleaning and matching of the stand stone a methodology for this was agreed with the conservation officer as the details of the repair and the suitability of the cleaning technique were important so as not to ensure damage to the surround. Consideration and quotes were given to repairing the lead fanlight however this work was not proceeded with. The works to the frost damaged cast-iron balustrades were undertaken and reports on the repair were provided to the conservation officer.
