Name: The Sanctuary
Location: London
Sector: Heritage
Value: £300,000
Scope
Inner City Scaffolding (ICS) was appointed to deliver specialist access and protection works for a restoration project at The Sanctuary in Westminster – a Grade II listed building with deep historical ties to Westminster Abbey. Originally constructed in the 14th century, The Sanctuary is a site of major heritage significance.
The project required extensive façade access and public protection measures to support restoration works while preserving the integrity of the site and ensuring safe pedestrian movement in a high-traffic area.
ICS engineered and installed bespoke scaffold solutions, including Gallows arrangements, bridge beams, and protective cladding systems, tailored to the building’s structural and conservation constraints.
Key Deliverables
- Façade Access Scaffold: 4,500m² of scaffold using bespoke Gallows arrangements
- Public Protection: 600m³ of pavement gantries and 500 linear metres of bridge beams
- Containment & Cladding: 4,000m² of LPS FR protective cladding for fire-rated containment
Outcome
This project reflects Inner City Scaffolding’s expertise in heritage-sensitive access and protection solutions. Through precision engineering and conservation-aware delivery, ICS enabled safe and efficient restoration works at one of Westminster’s most culturally significant sites – completed over a 12-month programme with full public access maintained throughout.
