Progress continues at the Earlestown Town Hall Café Extension
With the extension now fully watertight, we’ve been able to move confidently into the internal phase of the works. First fix MEP is now complete, marking a key milestone in preparing the space for the next stages.
MF ceiling installations are underway, while on the ground floor, tanking, insulation, and screeding works have all commenced — building momentum and allowing the internal fit-out to really take shape.

New Project Announcement – Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital!
We’re pleased to have commenced works at Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital, delivering a complex refurbishment to the Tower View Building as part of the programme to safely remove RAAC panels.
This project presents a number of technical challenges, including the careful dismantling of the existing slate roof to access the panels, which currently support key M&E services fixed to their underside. To facilitate this, our team is undertaking a full first-floor strip-out, removing ceilings, internal partitions, services, finishes and fittings ahead of the refurbishment works.
A key priority throughout the 25-week programme is maintaining a safe and fully operational environment on the ground floor, which remains in use by hospital staff. Extensive planning has been essential, with measures including a full scaffold structure, temporary roof enclosure, and dedicated access routes via external stairs and a goods hoist, ensuring safe separation between construction works and the live environment below.
This project highlights our capability in delivering technically demanding works within live, sensitive environments, with safety, coordination and programme control at the forefront.

The internal timber framing works for the new classroom pods are coming along nicely. These spaces will feature a cutting-edge virtual reality headset and immersive studios alongside other classrooms, all beautifully designed to complement the chapel’s stunning interior.
On the outside, restoration of the upper lantern is making great strides too. The roof and cladding looks fantastic and extensive repair work to the coloured glazing panels are almost complete! The team have worked through all kinds of weather to complete the works.
