Project Details

The 66 properties on St Michael’s Street and Star Street in Paddington, London W2, are Grade II listed and home to 130 residents.

Works in our cyclical heritage repairs project here included repairing brick work and pointing; replacing and refurbishing doors and windows; metal works including repairing and refurbishing metal railing and staircases; roof works including structural repairs and lead valley replacement; and drainage works.

In order to minimize disruption to residents we conducted our works in 4 phases:

  • Phase 1 – 4 months – Included scaffolding and roof works to St Michael’s Street
  • Phase 2A – 4 months – Included cyclical works to first half of Star Street
  • Phase 2B – 4 months – Cyclical works to second half of Star Street
  • Phase 3 – 3 months – Cyclical works to St Michael’s Street

We also conducted some out-of-scope work including replacing all roof gutters with lead valleys.

Because we were working next to the TFL London underground lines, we utilized Fall Arrest systems which include horizontal lifelines and anchor points  to ensure worker safety whilst installing the windows.

We sent out a monthly newsletter to all residents, updating them on the works. Axis also arranged a coffee morning so residents could come and ask any questions of our team.

Benefits for residents include improved acoustic and thermal performance of their homes. And as well as these practical benefits, our cyclical heritage repairs project also enhances the appearance of these attractive, historic streets.
