Heritage Refurbishment
The Royal Parks, properties in Richmond and Bushy Parks
Highlights
As the official contractor for The Royal Parks, Axis’ Heritage Division carried out a programme of internal and external repairs and refurbishments across multiple properties within Bushy and Richmond Parks. The works included Mechanical & Electrical upgrades, as well as repairs to roofing, masonry, and timber structures.
Internally, our Heritage team decorated throughout and was delighted to add handmade bespoke cabinets with worktops made from timber offcuts from the trees in the parks, as well as antique furniture to keep the heritage feel.
Royal Park volunteers use the huts, so we updated the electrics and added a heater for their comfort and convenience.
