Stone masonry to remove large ornate Portland stonework some weighing over a ton 1000kg these stones had fractured and moved due to what’s known as the regent street disease this is When metal corrodes it expands by seven to ten times the volume of the original metal. In this way, relatively low levels of corrosion can create large tensile forces within the masonry, causing cracking and displacement of the cladding, without structurally significant section-loss.
The parallel cracking at beam and column locations is often referred to as regent street disease. Using running beams and a block and tackle we carefully removed the defective masonry so the affected steels could be treated by a specialist steel company when their work was complete, we refixed, repaired, and pointed where necessary all this work was carried out 150ft above oxford street
