Following one of the longest tooth pulling events, Seccombes Builders Merchants Managing Director, John Seccombe has advised that, the end of discussions earlier this week between loss adjusters and insurance companies for both his company and the boy racer’s, meant that permission has been given to proceed with the reconstruction of the Syon Lane building.
Unlikely to commence before early July, Seccombes’ contractor is now discussing changes to the supporting scaffolding, up since early February, to enable safe working on and around the damaged building.
With changes, access can be created to dismantle the building in its entirety from the roof down to ground level. It will then be possible for the scaffolding to be removed. An assessment will then be made as to whether safe construction may begin without the tiresome traffic restrictions in place.
The footway here on Syon Lane is very narrow, presenting a danger to anyone working outside the wall and building. So, following assessment and discussion with Hounslow Highways, it will be clearer as to what restrictions will be necessary during the rebuild.
Seccombes are, expectedly, cautious about offering any timescales but it is estimated that the entire rebuild could take as much as eleven weeks; Mr Seccombe will keep providing updates with any changes that happen.
The company says that they values everyone’s patience and hopes that residents and visitors appreciate that there is light at the of end of the tunnel.
