Redpath has completed the reinstatement works to residential and commercial tenement premises at 107-115 Fountainbridge.
The building comprises 15 flats with three commercial units on the ground floor.
We have rebuilt the top two floors and fitted a new slated roof. The stonework was traditionally rebuilt using lime mortar. To do this we have erected a perimeter scaffold complete with a fully encapsulated HAKI temporary roof.
The main challenges involved working on a very tight site next to Tollcross Primary School and on the main thoroughfare into Edinburgh via Fountainbridge. Stakeholder engagement with the school staff to minimise disruption and a robust protective barrier and temporary pedestrian walkway enabled us to progress unhindered.
This Edinburgh Live article highlights the work we have undertaken to restore this building back to its former glory and what it means to the community.
