REFURBISHMENT

About the Project

We successfully completed a comprehensive refurbishment and internal modification project at Weston Secondary School. The project was meticulously planned and executed over ten distinct phases to minimise disruption to the school’s daily activities. The project was particularly challenging as the school remained operational throughout the duration of the works.

Our site manager worked closely with the client at every stage, ensuring that all health and safety requirements were met. This collaborative approach was key to successfully navigating the complexities of working in a live school environment.

The project began with the removal of existing finishes and remedial work to prepare surfaces for new decoration. This was followed by the installation of new suspended ceilings beneath the main structural ceiling, and the fitting of fire-resistant doors to enhance the school’s safety measures.

The flooring across the school was replaced with new, durable materials, significantly enhancing the aesthetic and functionality of the space. The team also undertook the construction of new classrooms, laboratories, changing rooms, and W.C areas, all designed and built according to specific drawings.

In addition to these, a new staff area and library were created, providing dedicated spaces for staff relaxation and student learning. The lighting and heating systems were upgraded to new, more efficient systems, and the walls, woodwork, and previously painted surfaces were redecorated to give the school a fresh, modern look.

The project also involved the installation of new mechanical equipment and electrical switchgear to support the school’s infrastructure. Finally, the existing fire alarm system was modified and extended to ensure comprehensive coverage throughout the school, further enhancing the safety measures in place. Overall, the project has significantly improved the learning environment at Weston Secondary School, providing modern, well-equipped spaces for both students and staff.
