South Kilburn Sliding Screen Refurbishment
London & Quadrant, London
The remedial works included the remanufacture of the steel support frames, providing renewed strength and stability to the sliding screen system. These were combined with fire-rated aluminium timber-effect louvre blades, offering the visual warmth of timber while improving fire performance, durability and long-term maintenance.
Working within a live residential environment required careful coordination, safe access and clear communication throughout the programme. Resident liaison formed an important part of the delivery, helping to manage access, reduce disruption and ensure the works could progress smoothly across the building.
Delivered over an eight-month programme with a contract value of £640k, the South Kilburn sliding screen refurbishment demonstrates Alloy Fabweld’s ability to deliver complex remediation works that improve both safety and appearance. By combining structural refurbishment with upgraded fire-rated materials, the team provided London & Quadrant with a practical, compliant and visually sympathetic solution for the building.
"Alloy Fabweld delivered the South Kilburn sliding screen refurbishment with care, precision and technical expertise. Their remanufactured steel support frames and fire-rated aluminium timber-effect louvres provided a safe, durable and attractive solution, while their resident-focused approach ensured the works were managed smoothly in a live residential setting."

The South Kilburn project involved the refurbishment of existing sliding screens on a residential apartment block, where the original timber and steel construction had deteriorated and become unsafe. Alloy Fabweld was appointed by London & Quadrant to deliver a complete remediation package, restoring the screens with a safer, more durable and compliant solution.
The existing sliding screens and supporting guide tracks required careful assessment before works began. Alloy Fabweld provided a full service from inspection through to completion, ensuring the condition of the existing system was fully understood before developing the most effective refurbishment approach.
