Ackergill Tower
Our Mission
Continuing our long-standing relationship with Ackergill Tower, GLM's heritage conservation and project management teams are planning and coordinating significant repairs and maintenance to the external fabric.
The practice has a long history with Ackergill Tower having begun it’s restoration back in the late 1980’s. To this day, we are still involved at Ackergill Tower and have worked with various owners to maintain this unique building and ensure it is fit for purpose. GLM were fundamental to the conversion of the tower into an exclusive-use venue and latterly a hotel.
In late 2018, our Heritage Conservation Building Surveying Team assisted a further change in ownership with a pre-acquisition building survey. Subsequently, our Architectural Team obtained Planning and Listed Building Consent for a change of use as the Tower returned once more to private residential use.
Currently, our Heritage Conservation and Project Management Teams are appointed to plan and coordinate significant repairs and maintenance to the external fabric of this building.
The works include complex and substantial scaffolding requirements to
access high level and exposed chimney and parapet structures, replacement of leadwork, slaterwork repairs, renewal of rainwater goods, substantial masonry repointing, window repairs and the repair
and redecoration of water damaged interiors.
We liaise with and report to the owner through her property manager, both of whom are US based.
