Featured project Blackheath, London
Early in 2024, Six Heritage were called to investigate the condition of a classic Victorian brick facade within the buffer zone of the Greenwich World Heritage Site.
The homeowner had become concerned about the condition of the exterior brickwork and masonry and had begun to witness some localised water penetration internally at and around window reveals.
