“The offices at Kingsgate House are already vacant and all the retailers are moving out by the end of March,” reports Nigel Earp, Project Director for Land Securities. “Everything will be ready for Erith to begin demolition works in April.” Erith have experience of working in the area, having recently demolished the buildings on the corner of Victoria Street and Bressenden Place in preparation for the Victoria Station Upgrade. “The first step is to do a ‘soft-strip’ to remove all fixtures and fittings. There will also be specialists to remove the small amount of asbestos in the building. At the same time as all that, they will erect scaffolding and sheathing around the building. From late April, they will start to demolish the structure starting at the roof.” To facilitate these works, a tower crane will be erected on the service lane at the back of the building. The lane will be closed for the duration of the project works.
