Tender: Remedial Repair Works to Grade II Listed Eastern Boundary Wall, St Mary's Churchyard, Henley-on-Thames

About

South Oxfordshire District Council is seeking a building contractor experienced in works to historic or listed structures to carry out remedial repairs, reinforcement and localised repointing to the eastern retaining boundary wall at St Mary’s Churchyard, Henley-on-Thames. The Grade II listed wall is approximately 22m long and 4.3m tall (retained height 3.1m; wall above churchyard ground ~1.2m), predominantly built of brick and flint with some timber and brick infill panels and plain tile and brick coping, and is showing structural issues from age, load retention and tree root penetration. Works include partial demolition and reinstatement of a brick planter to allow installation of concrete foundation pads and four buttresses, replacement of loose mortar/brick/flint, removal of medieval wooden beams and infill with brick/flint, localised repointing to both sides, and partial demolition/reinstatement of a small top section from the churchyard side; the majority of works will be carried out from the courtyard of the Relais Hotel which abuts the western elevation of the wall. Contractors with demonstrable heritage restoration experience or relevant accreditation (e.g. S.P.A.B, IHBC, NFB Heritage Approved Contractor) are encouraged to tender; full structural survey, specification and drawings are available in the tender pack documents.
