Waterlow Park Highgate

Rebuilding and repair of historic brick structures

The terraced garden walls within Waterlow Park encompass the formal gardens to Lauderdale House and are located in Highgate. These Grade II listed walls have been in decline over many years. The local council commissioned a consultant to carry out an initial assessment and survey.

The results showed that much of the wall was unstable and suffering from cracked and deteriorated brickwork. Nimbus have been appointed to carry out all the repair work including the installation of a new viewing gallery. The repairs involve:

• Dismantling and recording of unstable sections
• Rebuilding of walls in lime mortar incorporating new hand made bricks
• Removal of cracked bricks and insertion of new to match
• Raking out and repointing of all areas.

The work began in June 2004 and is due to be completed in December 2004.
