High-Level Window Replacement 8th Floor, Brixton

NZR was instructed to replace a leaking aluminium window on the 8th floor of a residential block in Brixton, London. The height and access restrictions meant the job needed full coordination across council, building management and our high-level access team.

The existing aluminium window had failed and was causing water ingress and deterioration around the frame. Access was only possible by cherry picker from the road — requiring a council parking suspension, pavement permits and live traffic management around an occupied building.

• Council parking suspension arranged
• Pavement permits obtained
• Building management liaison and approval
• Cherry picker access coordination
• Failed aluminium window removal
• New aluminium window supply and installation
• Full weatherproofing and sealing
• Safe completion with minimal resident disruption

NZR arranged the council parking suspension and pavement permits, liaised directly with the building management team for sign-off, and mobilised a cherry picker with full safety signage and barriers. The failed unit was removed at height, the aperture made good, and a new aluminium window supplied and installed with full perimeter weather sealing.

All works were completed safely and within a single day, with no disruption to residents or the surrounding area. The leak was eliminated and the new unit matched the existing block fenestration for a clean finish from street level.
