Located on an estate that includes green spaces, garage blocks, and car parking areas, this traditionally constructed five-storey building features masonry external walls, concrete floors in the common areas, and a pitched roof. The block consists of 56 purpose-built flats, divided across seven separate stairwells, with eight flats accessed from each entrance. The top-floor units are maisonettes, extending across the third and fourth floors.
The scope of our work included replacing all flat entrance doors and landlord services cupboard doors, as well as upgrading loft access hatches. Internal areas received full redecoration, along with the installation of new fire signage. Externally, we replaced the timber balcony handrails and the PVCu cladding as part of the Contractor’s Design Portion.
Additional works included the installation of a new fire alarm system and comprehensive fire compartmentation upgrades to ensure the building met current safety standards.
