CROSSMAN HOMES TO
BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO
BRISTOL’S WHITFIELD
TABERNACLE
Bristol’s iconic Whitfield Tabernacle,
one of the most at risk Grade One listed
buildings in the UK, has taken a big step
towards being saved thanks to a partnership
between Crossman Homes and the Whitfield
Tabernacle Trust. The building dating back
to 1741 and widely regarded as the birthplace
of the Methodist movement will be renovated
and redeveloped as a community space.
ARP’s Legion pressed aluminium box
gutter and Colonnade aluminium flushjoint
downpipes, both Polyester Powder Coated
(PPC) in RAL 9005 black matt finish were the
products chosen and samples of the product
and PPC colours were supplied to the client,
so he could be assured of the quality. Simon Ellis, Crossman Homes said: “We’re
delighted to be part of this exciting
development. Our involvement provides the
first realistic proposition that this ‘at risk’
Grade One Listed building can be saved from
collapse, bringing it back into good use for
the community.”

Helifix Dixie micro-piles used to
support Air Chief Marshal statue
More typically used to support
and stabilise buildings, the
versatile Helifix Dixie piled
foundation system has
recently been installed at
The Battle of Britain Bunker
Museum, RAF Uxbridge, to
support a statue of World War
II hero, Air Chief Marshal, Sir
Keith Park.
Due to the proximity of this
new statue to both electrical
and drainage services, Dixie
micro-piles were selected as
a reliable and cost-effective
alternative to traditional
concrete foundations.
For project-specific technical
advice on the use of Dixie
micro-piles, for both
temporary and permanent
foundations of new build
structures or remedial support
for existing buildings, please
