About Us Our Services Our Projects Our Team News Contact Waverley Building, Nottingham Trent University The Waverley Building is a Grade ll Listed building and sits in the heart of Nottingham City Centre. The Waverley Building is a Grade ll Listed building and was originally the Nottingham College of Art & Design. It was constructed between 1863-65 to designs by Frederick Bakewell of Nottingham on land purchased from the City. The building is known to have a ‘secret’ door in the basement, which permits access to the Nottingham cave system. We were instructed by Nottingham Trent University to look at the Waverley Building on their city campus, upon inspection from the ground it was identified that the bell tower at the top of the building was in need of repair. Once access was achieved it was actually discovered that the most economical way to repair the bell tower was a complete like for like replacement of the structure. Once we had the scaffold up and were able to examine the structure it was discovered ply sheeting had been placed over the tower as a repair at some point, this had allowed water to penetrate and resulted in severe rotting of the timber. A new bespoke structure was commissioned that was erected at the top of the building. We also replaced all the lead to the surrounding area, including the hips to the coloured tiles as this too had started to let water penetrate and would have resulted in further timber damage to the structure of the roof. As part of these works we also installed bird netting to stop pigeons fouling the structure and roosting inside, and carried out repairs to stone work and decorative tiles that were in need of repair.
