NCC STREETSCAPE HAD THE SOLUTION FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE GEORGE & DRAGON IN DARTMOUTH
In November 2015, Heavitree Brewery redeveloped the old George & Dragon pub in Dartmouth, to a new destination venue, including a large(~ 200m2) paved beer garden, with Black Limestone slabs and Granite setts for the main entrance & drop kerb to the road.
Following issues requiring extensive underpinning of the rear building elevation, the project was significantly delayed, but the brewery still wanted to hold the VIP Opening in November, ahead of the busy Christmas period. As a result, they needed to complete the paving jointing within just 2 days to allow access. Fortunately, NCC Streetscape had the solution, and they selected the unique GftK vdw 850plus paving jointing mortar for two key reasons:
• Fast installation- the only truly wet-weather paving jointing and can be applied quickly and easily in the cold and wet November weather, even in the pouring rain!
• Performance and Durability- hardens quickly to a tough, durable joint that can accommodate frequent heavy pedestrian traffic, frequent spillages of food and drinks, as well as being fully resistant to de-icing salts in Winter, and frequent jet-washing, daily in Summer!
By using GftK vdw 850plus, the jointing was applied, completed and surfaces cleaned, despite the weather, and in less than 4 hours. It then hardened overnight, ready for the VIP Opening Night. Now, ~ 10 years later in Summer 2025, the daily jet-washing cleaning continues, with the joints still looking good, proving that GftK vdw 850plus is a very durable and sustainable choice.
