Project Summary

Alexandra Palace, located in North London, is an iconic Grade II listed entertainment and sports venue with numerous areas of overhead glazing. As part of ongoing maintenance works, Glazing Refurbishment were instructed to carry out site-wide dilapidation inspections of the overhead glazed roofing.

Project Challenges

The client had been experiencing numerous water ingress issues but couldn’t locate the exact points of ingress. As a result of this, GR’s surveying team recommended a full dilapidation inspection was the best option to fully identify the scope of works required to be undertaken to bring the overhead glazing back up to a serviceable standard.
