Chris Sedegman Scaffolding is proud to have successfully delivered specialist scaffolding solutions for St John’s Hall in Penzance. As one of the town’s most significant historic buildings, this project required expert planning, precision engineering, and a deep respect for the site’s heritage.
St John’s Hall, originally built in 1867, is a Grade II listed building and a key civic landmark in Penzance. Over the years, it has served multiple purposes, including a town hall, council offices, and community space. Due to its age and architectural significance, extensive restoration and maintenance work was required to preserve its historic character while ensuring safety and longevity.
Our Solution
Working on a heritage-listed structure comes with unique challenges. Our team designed and installed a fully bespoke scaffolding system, ensuring:
- Full Accessibility – Providing safe access for restoration teams working on the roof, windows, and façade.
- Minimal Impact on the Building – Using techniques that protect the historic stonework and structure.
- Public Safety Measures – As St John’s Hall is located in a busy area, we implemented strict safety protocols to allow the public to move safely around the site.
Preserving the Past for the Future
We take great pride in working on projects that contribute to Cornwall’s rich architectural heritage. Our work at St John’s Hall ensures that this important landmark can continue serving the community for generations to come.
At Chris Sedgeman Scaffolding, we specialise in complex scaffolding solutions for historic buildings, and St John’s Hall was a testament to our team’s expertise, professionalism, and commitment to quality.
A huge thank you to everyone involved in this project—we look forward to tackling more exciting challenges in the future!
