Wintergardens Blackpool

Fylde Conservation was appointed to undertake specialist conservation works to the historic façade of the Blackpool Winter Gardens. The project focused on removing non-breathable coatings, reinstating lost stone detailing, and repairing weathered masonry using traditional methods. Working within a live urban setting and under close scrutiny from heritage stakeholders, our team delivered a sensitive programme of cleaning and repair that respected the building’s architectural significance and ensured long-term durability.
