Internal Refurbishment


In 2018 a new upgrade of the facility was designed by an Architect appointed by Historic Royal Palaces. We were employed to undertake this prestigious refurbishment contract for the benefit of the Yeoman Warders and those lucky enough to use the new space for events. Working closely with archaeologists; we carefully knocked through a more modern partition from the 1960's to build a new entrance; we removed decades of tobacco stains from the old original ceiling and delivered an incredible bespoke two-part space that offered Yeoman Warders a new snug & casual area to drink whilst formal events and dinners are enjoyed in the newly refurbished main space. Working to a strict deadline (due to the many planned ceremonies and events), we delivered a spectacular finished product with amazing attention to detail. The Yeoman Warders were delighted with our team and welcome us back every year to enjoy the new space with them.


Skills Included:

  • Working on a Grade 1 listed building
  • Working on a UNESCO world heritage site
  • Bespoke joinery & specialist finishes
  • Site security & management inside high-profile buildings
  • Internal Fit out
  • Working to a deadline

"We welcome Swainlands back to H M Tower of London every year to thank them for the wonderful project they delivered... The Tower dungeons were not in any danger of being required for Mr Swainland & his highly professional team!"
