Uxbridge Lido

Teamwork from ‘60s firms helps restore Lido to its former ‘30s glory

An Art Deco 1930s lido has been restored to its former glory as a result of a team effort from Ronacrete and Cemplas a leading restoration firm.

Originally built in 1935 the
lido was an elongated 12 sided star in shape with two fountains at either end. The lido closed in 1998 and since then had fallen into disrepair and was covered in graffiti.

The refurbishment which was overseen by English Heritage involved restoring the Lido's distinctive features, such as the grandstands, cascades

and entrance, which have survived almost unchanged since the lido opened in 1935. Perhaps the Lido's most recognizable attraction, the open air swimming pool is now part of the lovingly refurbished grade II-listed building.

Range Information

Waterproofing structures from inside and out requires the use of mortars and membranes which can resist not only liquid water but also vapour and pressure. When using damp proof membranes there may also be a requirement for flexibility as well as waterproofing.
 
Ronafix modified cement renders are highly efficient at stopping the passage of liquid water but allowing the surface to breathe, thus avoiding the risk of internal condensation on the wall surface. Two coats of Ronafix render will tank a basement and create a living or working space, or storage for paper and other media. Combine Ronafix renders with Ronacrete’s damp proof membranes for complete waterproofing solutions.
     
Ronafix modified screed mortars provide strong wearing and levelling screeds together with waterproofing on roof decks and below ground.
