Week 14

Internally the underfloor heating has been laid and covered with screed ready for the floor finish, once dried. Externally the scaffolding has now been removed to allow for the installation of the eaves, gutters and downpipes and the external works have commenced starting with the block paving. 


Week 12

The timber roof structure was completed followed by the installation of the natural slate coverings and the external windows and doors making the building watertight.





The feature Oak Screen is now fitted and will provide ample natural light into the activity space for the residents.  




Week 10


The works are progressing well in relation to the programme with the substructure now complete. The scaffold and masonry superstructure were built a couple of days ahead of programme allowing for the wall plate and timber roof trusses to be installed.  The underground drainage installation has been tested and the temporary hoarding to the existing corridor was placed to allow for the opening up of the existing walls and roof. A vision panel within the temporary hoarding provides light into the existing corridor and has been kindly decorated by a local artist Anne Bennett.
