We tendered for and were successful in carrying out the first phase of the Coroners Court project which involved the removal of the external fire escape, external refurbishment, internal alterations to facilitate a new platform lift and minor finishing works. This was completed in 2006 for a cost of £106,466.00. The second phase, of which we tendered and were also successful, was for the replacement of the roof light and the comfort cooling.
Replacement Roof light & Comfort Cooling - £119,766
All furniture, equipment, carpet and loose apparatus were removed and scaffolding was erected and netted. A temporary roof was then erected for the whole duration of the project. This was sheeted up to provide a waterproof barrier. The existing roof light was stripped out and disposed of and the new roof light was supplied and fixed using Brazilian cedar/utile hardwood sections.
The herringbone woodblock floor in the courtroom was then sanded and re-sealed and ad hoc repairs to the panelling were carried out. Timber hopper window and top hung timber casement windows were overhauled and eased and adjusted where necessary.
Finally new heat pump casings were installed.
Due to the courts heavy commitment and court sessions, as well as it’s listed building status,a real onus was on communication and consideration to the clients,their clientele and the contract period.
