Restoration Works at Eastney Pumping Station
Careful restoration work across one of Portsmouth's most important historic engineering sites, preserving listed fabric while making the buildings usable for their next chapter.
Preserve the history while repairing the building.
Eastney Pumping Station was Portsmouth's first sewage pumping station and includes several buildings dating from 1868 to 1905. Parts of the site are Grade II listed and the wider site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
The project focused mainly on the Old Engine House and Toilet Block, with additional work to the Beam Engine Museum, Gas Engine House and Cooling Pond.
The requirement covered brickwork, stonework, roofing, joinery, glazing, plastering, electrical work, guardrails, toilets, fencing and other heritage-sensitive repairs.
Traditional methods where the building demanded them.
Works included repointing brick and stone, cleaning stone cornice details, lime plaster, replacement lintels and cills, entrance doors and glazing, roof and leadwork repairs and bespoke joinery.
Safety and security were improved at the same time through basement guardrails, railings, fence panels, security fencing and gates.
The project was planned around the property, the customer and the operational environment.

Historic fabric protected and the site made usable again.
The restoration improved both condition and functionality while retaining the character of the historic buildings.
The site could continue its life as a museum and event space rather than simply being preserved as an inaccessible structure.
