St Mark’s House, Birkenhead

St Mark’s House, an office block in Birkenhead, was suffering from water ingress through the walls. The construction below the windows on each floor consisted of brick slips mounted on a prefabricated board. The brick slips were becoming loose and falling off in places, causing the water ingress and presenting a potential danger to the office workers below. Flexcrete Monolevel 844SP, a cementitious repair mortar, was used to flush point the brick slips and hold them in place. Decothane HS, a seamless waterproofing membrane, was then applied to fully waterproof the building and ensure that no further spalling would occur. The office remained fully occupied throughout the works and therefore project planning was a key consideration to ensure that the office staff were able to carry out their daily duties without inconvenience.
