1 Bakers Row

Quinn London was appointed to undertake external fire safety and cladding remediation works at 1 Bakers Row, a five-storey mixed-use building comprising eight residential units and 92 sqm of commercial space.

The project involved the comprehensive refurbishment of the building’s external façade to enhance fire safety and ensure compliance with current regulations, while maintaining the building’s original appearance. The scope of works included the removal of non-compliant Aluminium Composite Material (ACM-PE) and defective fibre cement cladding, followed by the installation of new plywood sheathing, gap-free cavity barriers and A2, s1-d0 fire-rated insulation.

New aluminium and fibre cement cladding was installed, carefully colour-matched to the original façade to preserve the building’s existing aesthetic. Throughout the works, particular care was taken to protect the existing windows and doors and minimise disruption to the building’s occupants.

The completed project has significantly improved the building’s external fire safety performance, providing a safer environment for residents and commercial occupiers while retaining its original architectural appearance.
