ISG Jackson Special Projects has successfully completed an historically important external refurbishment contract at the Grade II listed, Loughton Hall in Essex.

The refurbishment of the Queen Anne-style building, for client Redrow Homes (Eastern) Ltd, has been overseen by English Heritage and now completed, the Hall's future use is restricted by covenants and planning consents to either educational purposes or as a private nursing home.

Preservation and maintenance of the authenticity of the building's fabric has been central to the refurbishment at Loughton Hall and ISG Jackson Special Projects was careful to restore and re-use existing materials wherever possible. Any new elements introduced to the building, such as roof tiles, brickwork, or replacement window frames, were all carefully selected to ensure the closest possible match to existing features.


Michael Manning, Divisional Director for ISG Jackson Special Projects, commented: "Loughton Hall has proved an excellent showcase to demonstrate the technical skills and expertise of our project team, who have delivered an outstanding and sympathetic restoration of this historically important building. Through early involvement in the scheme and by adopting a partnership approach with conservation body, English Heritage, ISG Jackson Special Projects has effectively allocated resource to the most demanding aspects of the refurbishment, keeping the project on programme and within budget."
