Tom O’Brien Construction were appointed by Waterford City & County Council to carry out a Major Restoration and Conservation Works Contract on the Mall in Waterford City to the following Historic and Landmark Buildings:

– The c.1780’s Waterford City Hall and Theatre Royal Buildings &
– The c.1740’s Bishop’s Palace Building

As members of the Prestigious Register of Heritage Contractors of Ireland, our teams’ in-house master craftsmen, supplemented by our specialist traditional subcontractors carried out a series of careful Remedial works to both of these Protected buildings including:

– Complete Render Removal & Lime Re-Plastering Works
– Significant Stone Raking & Repointing Works
– Natural Slate Roof Replacements
– Flat Roof Replacements
– Historic Window & Joinery Replacement
– Internal Refurbishment Works
– General Building Upgrade Works including timber treatment & fireproofing
– M&E Upgrades

These works were delivered in conjunction with Waterford City & County Council’s in-house Design & Conservation Teams.

We are proud to have once again given a new lease of life to these historic Waterford landmarks, having previously carried out a similar Major Restoration of the Bishop’s Palace building in the late 1970’s under the company’s then stewardship of Tom O’Brien Snr.
