Lloyd’s of London, 1 Lime Street

Client: ISS Coflex

Osprey have completed a variety of projects at this prestigious Grade 1 listed building

Reglazing of the intermediate band of glazing throughout the building

The glazing in this building is bespoke and cannot be easily replicated again. Working as the principal contractor for access and installation, the existing double and tripple glazed embossed units were removed and returned to our associated glass manufacturers.

  • With no spare embossed glass replacements being available, around 3,600 units were carefully re-worked
  • The glass units were cut and cleaned, and each panel re-made in a new configuration before being returned to site for reinstallation
  • The building remained occupied and operational for the duration of the project
  • Data and communications were moved internally on a daily basis to suit the programme

Lloyd’s were very impressed, the works were completed without

glass breakages and on time.

Project 1

Working as the principal contractor for access and installation, the existing bespoke double glazed embossed units were removed and returned to our associated glass manufacturers.

The glass units were cut, cleaned and each panel re-made in a new configuration then returned to site for reinstallation. In total around 3600 units were re-worked. The building remained occupied throughout the whole project, with minimum disruption to all of the occupying tenants.

Project 2

The Directors of JPW Osprey Limited were commissioned as main contractors to remove 39 steel cill members from the fire escape lobbies on each floor.

Works included scaffold design and procurement, ventilation duct removal and replacement, large glass panels removed, cleaned and reinstalled to new steel framework.

The building remained occupied during these contract works with minimal disruption to the building’s tenants.
