The Project
St Mary’s Hospital – Clarence Wing is a Grade II Listed Building, recognised for its “exuberant and eclectic late-Victorian design, combining motifs from Northern and Italian Renaissance architecture with English Baroque motifs.” RAM acted as project managers, contract administrators, and principal designers overseeing the work.
The Challenges
RAM was responsible for coordinating with multiple stakeholders, including Westminster Council, local parking enforcement, and neighbouring properties, to minimise any disruption to their business. As the hospital is a live site, constant communication was required with the various wards on the different floors to maintain privacy and ensure collaborative management of any noisy works was maintained.
The Solution
The project scope included:
- Planning Application
- Liaising with conservation officer
- Slate roof replacement
- Balcony & ledges waterproofing
- Window replacement to those in poor condition
- Window refurbishment to those in reasonable condition
- Facade works:
- Stonework repair
- Brickwork repair
- Doff cleaning to stonework
- Ironwork repair / painting
- Replacement of damaged cast iron downpipes
- Balcony Repairs
- Refurbishing of lighting protection to ensure compliance
- External door replacement
The Results
Through effective stakeholder coordination and meticulous project management, RAM ensured the successful restoration of Clarence Wing while maintaining hospital operations with minimal disruption. The work preserved the building’s historic integrity, improved structural resilience, and enhanced safety compliance.
