Other works to follow include masonry repairs and repointing, refurbishment of windows and doors and lining the rooms to allow future use.

Structures Works

Lot 2 - Structures Works This lot includes: Seawall: The first priority lies in stabilising fragile key elements such as the gate archway opposite the Gardeners Cottage (see Masterplan). Invasive vegetation and tree/tree root removal shall be carried out to allow full condition inspection and prevent further damage. Other consolidation works can then follow including localised repairs and restoration of the crenellations and rebuilding failing sections of the wall to match the original height and profile. The restoration work is to utilise salvaged rubble and to incorporate drainage outlets. Other Repair Works: Repairs are to be made to:- - The Bastion Wall and parapet - Castle Steps - The Sunken Garden walls and steps - Matheson Bridge - The Old Castle Bridge. Full details are set out in the accompanying documents.
