It certainly is one of the great buildings in London.

ICI's Millbank HQ was regularly used by the War Office and many world-shaping decisions were taken in its Boardroom during World War II. Robinsons is responsible for ensuring the appearance of this historic edifice reflects the image of the ICI company. We are frequently carrying out internal and external maintenance to keep the building looking as dignified as ever.

One of the most exciting developments in London during the last decade has been the regeneration of the East End and Docklands.

This historical area is fast becoming a fashionable place to live, work and visit. British Waterways recently contacted us to refurbish property along the River Thames including lock gates, a lock keeper's cottage, bridges and pumphouses. The famous Limehouse swing bridge proved a particularly interesting challenge. With the ebb and flow of the tide, we often had only six foot of clearance to paint the underside of the bridge and as little as three hours a day to work. The humid summer weather, combined with a need to respect the sensitivities of a domestic neighbourhood, posed further complications to our determined team. By using special 'over-and-under' cherry-pickers and meticulously planning our work schedules, we managed to get the project completed on time and to the complete satisfaction of the client. In fact, there's hardly a better looking bridge in Britain!
