Complete Helifix Service Chosen To Secure Youth Hostel Properties |
|
 Before a pair of semi-detached town houses in Hunstanton could be converted into accommodation by the UK Youth Hostel Association, both properties required a variety of structural faults to be rectified.
Due to the number of different problems and their various causes a detailed survey and repair programme was needed and repair specialists Helifix Ltd were chosen as they could provide a comprehensive survey and design service, proven concealed repair systems and a well established, local, approved professional installer.
The twin two storey properties, with attic conversions and rear extensions, are built from brick and red carstone. They were suffering from bay window detachment, brick arch failures, cracking above various window openings following window replacement and the installation of inadequate new lintels, brick quoin separation from stone at corners of the building and a lack of lateral restraint.

Once the repairs were completed and made good there was virtually no evidence of the major works that had been undertaken. The concealed Helifix products stabilised the properties and were sympathetic to the aesthetics while allowing normal structural movement and avoiding ‘hard spots’ or load path transfer.
