What the notice says

Hastings Borough Council is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to undertake the Hastings Castle Priority Works programme. The project comprises conservation and structural repair works to historically significant masonry elements within Hastings Castle, located on Castle Hill Road, Hastings, TN34 3HY. The scope includes the replacement of deteriorated supporting corbels to a historic arch formerly incorporated within one of the church tower walls; stabilisation of the surviving church stair remains through pinning, deep packing and repointing of internal masonry walls; careful dismantling and reconstruction of a section of Victorian wall adjacent to the pathway leading to the public toilets that is currently in poor structural condition; and the removal and replacement of steel plate lintels above the rock-cut dungeon entrance. All works are to be undertaken using appropriate conservation techniques and materials, with due consideration given to preserving the historic character and integrity of the site while improving its long-term stability and safety. Full details of the project and tender requirements are contained within the attached tender pack.
