The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea approached R F Webb & Son to tender for the repainting and relighting of the world famous Chelsea Bridge, which dates back to 1858. Works included the removal of the existing festoon lighting, cabling and switchgear to allow the paintwork to be stripped, primed and repainted. New feature lighting was installed. The project was carried out under direct contract with the Borough and, as a result of this successful partnership, RF Webb also undertook work on Albert Bridge. > Back to case studies KEY FACTS Client: Royal Borough of Chelsea & Kensington Consultant: Messrs Parkman Westminster London Main contractor: RF Webb & Son Ltd Painting Subcontractor: CLC Ltd Southampton Value: £858,000 Start date: January 1997 Completion date: September 1997 > Download PDF
