Staley Hall is a Grade II* listed building dating from the 16th Century, originally timber
framed and occupied until the mid 20th Century. By the 1990’s the hall had fallen into
serious disrepair with the internal timber oak frame seriously decayed and generally
collapsed. The Hall was on the English Heritage Buildings at Risk Register.
Persimmon purchased the property to convert into apartments.

There was involvement over a period of many years from inception
to final completion. The structural concept was developed at an
early stage and maintained.
In particular the scheme avoided costly and probably impractical
underpinning and served to maintain a maximum of the external
fabric with minimum intervention.
The final result is a derelict historic building successfully restored
achieved by effective team working with the Structural Engineer
playing a key role

The structural requirement was to provide
support to apartments at three floor levels
and a new roof and maintain the stability of
the external walls. The solution involved
the construction of a load bearing masonry
inner structure founded on a raft type
foundation independent of the existing
building. In-situ concrete floors cast on
permanent formwork provided restraint to
the outward leaning rear wall. The new oak
framed roof is supported on the upper floor
