Helifix helps preserve
historic Titanic dock pump house
Helifix non-disruptive and concealed
masonry repair systems have been installed
on the large pump house adjacent to the
historic 850 feet long Thompson Graving
Dock in Belfast, where Titanic and its sister
ship Olympia were both fitted out.
Opened in 1898 and extended in 1911,
this long terrace of gabled brick buildings
required major structural repairs and
stabilisation due to historic settlement and
rotation.
Now a listed building and part of the
Titanic Foundation, it was important that
these repairs were sympathetic, restoring
structural integrity while retaining the
original appearance of the buildings.

Clothesmaid: The specifiers choice
We are often chosen by
architects and designers
as part of refurbishment
projects and offer
bespoke sizes up to 3.5m

we supplied a bespoke
bulk order to Brighton
& Hove residents (of 2.4m Popular airers) as part of a
council initiative, winning the contract in open competition.
Clothesmaid’s high quality cast iron components are
sourced from the West Midlands and our natural cotton
and jute cords have been made in Lancashire for over 160
years. We only use best quality Grade 1 Scandinavian Pine
laths which come from sustainable forests.
Clothesmaid offer a choice of 5 classic colours and
4 or 6 lath ceiling airers with lengths from 900mm up
to 3500mm. Easy to install, the attractive design for
our clothes airers maximises the space in your home -

flat. Using the free residual heat in your ceiling void your
clothes are aired and dried without the need of a tumble

workshop. They’re made in the traditional way, with rope,
pulleys, cast iron and wooden slats - we’ve taken great
