2e. Before Work - Wood Restoration
This is a well known historical meeting point known as ‘High Rocks’ in Tunbridge Wells. It is listed down as a national monument and dates back to the Victorian age where it was frequently visited as a popular family destination. The entranceway to the 'Rocks' had fallen into disrepair and needed extensive restoration work to replace the rotten timbers. As the venue is now used as a popular wedding site, on the weekends many weddings often take place there. Therefore as the work was extensive we were unable to complete all the works within a short period of time. Our working hours had to be flexible and we also had to be careful about the access equipment we used for carrying out repairs. No permanent scaffolding could be used as the entrance way is often needed to appear in the wedding photographs. This also meant that we had to carry out the restoration work in stages and then repaint areas (in preparation for the weekend wedding), and that would, the following week, need stripping back and then wood repairs carrying out.
