Serving the town of Herne Bay and staring in Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em, this station was originally constructed by the Herne Bay and Faversham Railway Company, opening in 1861 as “Herne Bay and Hampton-on-Sea”.
Found on older buildings, the existing valley gutters were failing, allowing heavy rainwater to collect, stagnate and ingress on the flat roof. The timber cross section was also bowing, rotted and had been temporarily propped up, spoiling the atriums. Finally, the drainage system was completely blocked.
Team GSM (including unbounded, specialist carpenters) fitted brand new structural timbers beams, cut cast columns and installed Gallow brackets, all fashioned from the imported Green Oak timber, followed by a full paint refurbishment using Demidekk Microporous System.
