These major repairs include replacement of defective steel trusses forming the existing roof structure, with replacement roof finishings and associated works to upper floors together with structural works to existing external walls.

Due to the nature of the works, existing tenants within these properties will require to be decanted in a phased manner by the successful bidder during the course of the works to 6nr nearby vacant properties.
