The project primarily focuses on the roof of the original building, dating back to 1870, including the flat roofs of installations located at the junctions between the original structure and the 1970 extension.
The intervention on the pitched roof, composed of trusses and wooden boards, will involve removing all tiles, repairing and restoring the wooden boards, applying in-situ treatment against wood-boring insects, installing sandwich panel insulation, waterproofing with bituminous laminar plates, and re-laying the tiles. Existing cast iron ridge pieces will also be restored.
Additionally, work will be carried out on accessible flat roof areas with leakage problems. Concurrently, a contract has been tendered for the execution management and health and safety coordination of the work, costing over 12,000 euros with the same execution period.
This initiative follows a previous rehabilitation, carried out two years ago for nearly half a million euros, which focused on the mezzanine floor of the building. Recently, residents of La Malagueta have requested that the property be converted into a health center, honoring the wishes of its former owner, physician Joseph William Noble.
Two years ago, the municipal plenary approved allocating the building as a civic center for La Malagueta residents, conditional on relocating the offices of Emasa, Málaga's water management company, for which the construction of a new multi-purpose building is being considered.
