And that is certainly true with these photographs that show Szerelmey Restoration’s work at St Helen’s Place, Bishopsgate. To the left of the picture is the 5-7 St Helen’s Place façade, which we cleaned and restored in 2014/15. To the right of the photograph Szerelmey Restoration are currently carrying out extensive cleaning, restoration and remodelling works to the retained façade of 15-17 St Helen’s Place. Prior to the restoration works commencing we secured the floor slabs to the retained façade which enabled the façade retention system to be removed and the working scaffold to be erected. In the centre of the pictures our team can be seen relaying reclaimed granite setts, kerbs and yorkstone paving to the original pattern.
