Old buildings, while charming and important, present a particular set of challenges to property managers. When things go wrong, it can often lead to very overwhelming fixes or even closures. But, with Hi-Tech Property Services on your side, you can rest assured that your site is in good hands.
Nestled in a charming Devon village, this pub stands as one of the oldest buildings in the area, blending historical charm with modern comforts. Inside, it features a mixture of old and new, with bar and restaurant areas, and a separate games room. It even has a skittle alley! Outside, patrons can enjoy a pleasant seating area. All this makes it a very popular local destination for both locals and visitors.
The building had suffered from years of substandard repairs and accumulating damage, leading to several significant structural issues. The main concerns included decayed truss members, excessive deflection on ceiling joists. This, as well as a collapsed section of old cob walls accompanied by decayed roof plates. A thorough structural survey revealed the necessity for extensive renovations, including a complete roof replacement.

The main concerns included decayed truss members, excessive deflection on ceiling joists. This, as well as a collapsed section of old cob walls accompanied by decayed roof plates. A thorough structural survey revealed the necessity for extensive renovations, including a complete roof replacement.
The project entailed constructing a new truss integrated with the existing cob wall, and removing the deteriorated ceilings, replacing them with new joists. All ceiling joist ends were removed, and the sockets were cleaned to accommodate new joist bearings. The decayed roof plate was carefully removed and replaced with a new softwood plate, and new double-leafed stud walls were built to replace the collapsed section of the cob walls. The renovation also required a fully tented scaffold, roof strip and removal, and the replacement of lead valleys and flashing to ensure the building’s longevity.
All works were completed within four weeks by our dedicated in-house teams, showcasing efficient project management and expert craftsmanship. The comprehensive renovation not only addressed the structural issues but also preserved the historical integrity of the pub, ensuring it remains a cherished landmark in the Devon village. The successful completion of this project revitalised the pub, making it a safer and more welcoming place for both locals and visitors to enjoy.

After a fire in the first floor of this Warsash pub, Hi-Tech Properties were called in to do vital roof repairs.
Our client was experiencing problems with their flat roof for years until we stepped in to clear everything up.
They don’t make them like this anymore! That’s what makes restoration and heritage work like this important.
