Wade Tower: internal and external refurbishment and extensive waterproofing

Our project at Wade Tower in Havant was a complex job, which involved re-plastering and waterproofing walls, lime mortar pointing on the southern exposed face of the tower, and generally investigating and improving detailing to stop water coming in to the property.

Client Liz Warmsley has lived at the historic property for 20 years. For her, the Martin Sewell Building Company was the best choice for such an important and sensitive project. She admitted “the house was a sponge, so we had a lot of damp problems, we had water ingress in various different places”.

Martin and the team “were really sympathetic to the whole house and did the work really conscientiously. The project was well managed and coordinated. It was quite a complicated project, with various different timelines and things, so we were very pleased.”

Our Senior Contracts Manager Ron worked closely with Liz to solve the tower’s long-standing problems. Liz said she would “absolutely” recommend MSBC.
