This project involved a comprehensive, full-scale refurbishment of the Crofton Roman Villa display in Orpington for the London Borough of Bromley. The aim was to improve the preservation of the historic site and the overall visitor experience, with significant upgrades to both the external envelope and the internal facilities, modernising the building while respecting its archaeological importance.
• A new overclad insulated roofing system to improve thermal performance and weather resistance.
• Replacement of the existing rainwater goods.
• New external cladding to refresh and protect the façade.
• A modern aluminium window and door system for durability and energy efficiency.
• Redecoration of all existing metalwork, including handrails and bollards.
• Repairs to external slabs and brickwork.
• New insulated wall linings to improve environmental performance.
• Upgraded public facilities, including a fully accessible WC and baby changing room.
• A new storeroom to support day-to-day operations.
• New epoxy flooring and fire doors.
• A complete upgrade of building services, including modern lighting, ventilation, fire alarm and security systems.
A key part of the refurbishment was enhancing the interpretive experience. This included Roman-themed murals and signage, along with the specialist production of interpretation features such as a story wall, interactive displays, visitor activities and bespoke display lighting.
Together, these works have created a more engaging, educational and immersive environment for visitors, bringing the history of the villa to life while protecting the site for the future.
