Moor Hall.

Moor Hall, Aughton, West Lancashire, has been one of the UK and Ireland’s leading restaurants for years, currently voted number 1 in ‘National Restaurant Awards’ (2021). It has been awarded with 5 AA rosettes for culinary excellence, plus 2 Michelin Stars.

The restaurant is set in five acres of gardens with views over a lake, said to be the remains of a medieval moat. The Grade II listed gentry house is of mid-sixteenth century origin. In 2015, the site underwent a multi-million-pound renovation.

Structures Group was commissioned to undertake a variety of works to both the building and the barn.

All chimneys were taken down and rebuilt. Structural alterations were carried out throughout the building and barn, and a large brickwork package was fulfilled on the barn. Both the external and internal stonework was restored, and stone features and feature walls within the restaurant were crafted by a team of our expert stone masons.

Finally, the façade of the building was rendered and damp-proofed and an aesthetic, protective coating was required for application to the external walls to provide a highclass finish.

The surface of the building was cleaned and washed. All deep pockets requiring repair were filled with Monolite. The surface was then levelled with Monolevel FC, a cosmetic grade fairing coat which fills minor holes and defects and provides a smooth surface
finish prior to overcoating. The façade and gable ends were coated with Monodex Smooth, a highly advanced, waterborne, elastomeric coating which is ideal for application to external walls, providing excellent protection against carbonation, chloride penetration and water ingress, whilst allowing damp substrates to breathe.

Two applications were carried out in magnolia, restoring the building back to pristine condition and making the building look welcoming once again.
