Following our recent appointment to deliver five energy upgrade projects for the Diocese of London, we are pleased to share that site set-ups are now underway. ✅

Before physical works commence, our team has been focused on the essential planning and preparation required to deliver these fast-paced projects safely, efficiently and to the high standards expected of Benning Brothers Ltd.

A key focus at this stage has been a detailed review of the Health & Safety requirements across each property, ensuring that every site is properly assessed and prepared before works begin.

This includes the development and implementation of project-specific Construction Phase Plans, covering key areas such as:

🔹 Site logistics and access arrangements
🔹 Welfare provision and site set-up requirements
🔹 Risk assessments and method statements
🔹 Public, occupier and stakeholder safety
🔹 Material deliveries and just-in-time procurement
🔹 Environmental considerations and waste reduction
🔹 Coordination of specialist contractors and site teams

With multiple properties being delivered under a tight programme, careful planning, clear communication and strong site controls are essential from day one.

Our dedicated delivery team is now working through the final preparations, ensuring each project is ready to move smoothly into the construction phase.

Stay tuned for further updates as these important energy improvement works progress. 🙌

🚧 PROJECT UPDATE – CHELMSFORD, ESSEX 🚧

We are now one week into our subsidence insurance reinstatement project in Chelmsford and progress on site has been excellent despite the recent weather conditions trying to slow us down. 🌧️➡️☀️

The project is now fully established with:

✔️ Site set-up completed
✔️ Secure site boundaries in place
✔️ Solar-powered welfare facilities fully operational
✔️ Demolition works progressing ahead of programme

The existing side extension has now been fully demolished down to ground level, allowing the scaffold to be struck and access handed over to the groundworks team as we prepare for the next phase of the reinstatement works.

This project will ultimately see the construction of a new piled foundation system with a timber-framed extension designed to sympathetically match the original character and appearance of the property.

A huge thank you to the site team and supply chain for maintaining momentum and standards through challenging conditions. 👏

We look forward to sharing further progress updates as the project continues to take shape.

🏗️ Project Update | London📍

Great progress being made on one of our latest London insurance reinstatement projects 👏

Strip out works are now complete ✅ and the team are pushing on at pace with the reinstatement phase 🚧

A major focus of the project is the installation of a new BS 8102:2022 compliant Type C waterproofing system to the basement area following the discovery of a defective existing membrane system 💧

Working alongside a specialist waterproofing contractor, the new system includes:

🔹 CDM 508R high-density cavity drain membrane system
🔹 Perimeter Floordrain drainage channels with swept corners
🔹 Titan Pro sump chamber installation
🔹 Dual NP750eco pump arrangement
🔹 Victron inverter and battery back-up system for continued protection during power interruption ⚡
🔹 Fully maintainable drainage and inspection points designed to achieve a Grade 3 dry environment 🏠

The system has been designed to manage water ingress through controlled drainage rather than simply attempting to resist hydrostatic pressure, providing a far more robust and maintainable long-term solution for the property 💪

Excellent work by the team and supply chain as we continue driving the programme forward 👷‍♂️👷‍♀️

🚧 NEW PROJECT ALERT – CHELMSFORD, ESSEX 🚧

Benning Brothers Ltd are pleased to announce the commencement of a new subsidence insurance reinstatement project in Chelmsford.

The works involve the careful demolition of the existing side extension, followed by the construction of a new extension on piled foundations with timber frame construction, a natural slate roof finish and rendered external façade — all designed to seamlessly match the original character and appearance of the property.

Internally, the new layout will provide a modern and functional:
• Study
• Utility Room
• Cloakroom

A key focus of this project is sustainability and sympathetic reinstatement. Wherever possible, care will be taken when salvaging, repairing and reusing original materials and features from the existing property, prioritising restoration and upgrade works over unnecessary disposal and replacement.

At BBL, we understand that insurance reinstatement projects require not only technical expertise, but also a sensitive approach to maintaining the original look, feel and integrity of a home.

We look forward to sharing progress updates as works continue on site.
