Merthyr Tydfil - Rainwater Goods Replacement

Project Overview

T&D Design and Build Ltd. was commissioned to undertake sensitive remedial works at Lloyds Bank in Merthyr Tydfil, a property with Listed Building status located within a designated Conservation Area. The project involved the full replacement of the building’s rainwater goods in line with heritage regulations, maintaining the visual and historical integrity of the structure.

Scope of Work

Our experienced heritage team delivered the project through a carefully structured and compliant process:

• Initial Site Survey & Documentation:
  Attended site to survey and measure all existing guttering and downpipes, preparing detailed drawings and a full Heritage Statement to support the Listed Building Consent application.
• Liaison with Local Authority (LA):
  Ensured all materials and methodologies complied with Merthyr Tydfil Conservation Area requirements, securing approval for appropriate cast iron replacements.
• Removal & Replacement Works:
  Carried out the careful removal of the existing rainwater goods along the rear elevation. All materials were disposed of responsibly before installing new cast iron guttering and downpipes, matching the traditional appearance and style as specified by the local authority.
• Final Site Works:
  Conducted a thorough site clean down, removed all waste, and signed off works, ensuring everything was left tidy and compliant upon completion.

Project Outcome

The project was successfully delivered in full compliance with conservation and heritage regulations, achieving:

• A visually consistent and historically respectful finish.
• Improved rainwater drainage with robust, long-lasting cast iron systems.
• Full alignment with Listed Building Consent conditions.
