ASWS ASSISTS IN IKEA’ S NEW LONDON HQ TWO YEAR RESTORATION
Best known as Topshop’ s flagship, 214 Oxford Street has undergone a two-year restoration to become Ikea’ s new London HQ while respecting its Grade II listing. London-based Associated Steel Window Services( ASWS) led the specialist work, drawing on decades of heritage expertise.
Following a detailed 2022 survey, ASWS uncovered extensive water damage, corrosion, and issues linked to historic alterations. Across the building, 342 steel windows were restored, including the unique“ Lollipop” lights, while 14 large hardwood mansard windows were overhauled with splicing, safety glass, and Repaircare treatments. At street level, the bronze shopfronts were carefully stripped, repatinated, and reglazed.
One of the toughest challenges involved the three shallow domes above the mezzanine, each containing 148 panes. These were painstakingly reglazed with safety glass, stabilised with new steelwork, and finished using ASWS’ s robust Five-Coat regime.
With up to 50 operatives onsite, ASWS delivered exceptional workmanship, earning praise from McLaren Construction and Crown Estates for its problem-solving and attention to detail.
