Refurbishing multiple units across Weston Industrial Estate required a range of works to enhance let-ability and significantly improve EPC ratings.
Challenges included managing large-scale asbestos removals, weather risks during extensive roof replacements, and coordinating works to maintain the integrity of buildings while adhering to tight schedules.
The estate's largest project, Units 3-6, involved complex subdivisions and modernisation, addressing both structural and aesthetic requirements.
Our team adopted a phased approach to minimise disruption and manage weather-related risks.
Careful planning ensured that external works, such as roof replacements and cladding repairs, were completed in controlled stages to maintain building integrity.
Collaborative communication with stakeholders enabled seamless progress across various units, tailored to each unit's specific refurbishment needs.
This extensive refurbishment transformed a 40,000 sq.ft unit previously occupied by Augusta Westland Helicopters into three demises (2x 10,000 sq.ft and 1x 20,000 sq.ft), improving its let-ability.
Internal Works: Full strip-out, including asbestos removal and utility service upgrades; Structural alterations to remove office spaces and integrate into warehouse areas; Cut & Carve for the creation of new WCs and kitchens on the ground floor and offices on the first floor, including a new stair core for the central unit; New finishes: plastering, joinery, suspended ceilings, and office fit-outs; Mechanical & electrical (M&E) installations: new incoming supplies, switchgear, small power, LED lighting, electric panel heaters, and mechanical ventilation; Full warehouse floor refurbishments, including diamond grinding, slab repairs, and new industrial resin coatings.
External Works: Complete replacement of asbestos roofs with insulated Kingspan roof sheets, roof lights, gutter linings and capping; Repairs and respraying of cladding, replacement of windows and doors (including sectional shutter doors); Repairs to service yards
Subsequent projects across other units on the estate featured similar improvements:
Replacement of asbestos roofs, cladding repairs, and respraying
Internal refurbishments: LED lighting, electric panel heaters, office upgrades with new kitchens and tea points, decorations, and sanitaryware replacements in WCs
Warehouse works: full redecorations, diamond grinding, and new industrial resin coatings
Each project delivered significant improvements in EPC ratings and let-ability, contributing to the estate’s long-term sustainability and appeal. Units 3-6, the largest project, set a benchmark for quality, with the works completed within budget and to the highest standards.
