West Midland Safari Park
Another job completed for our friends at West Midland Safari Park. This time, we’ve fitted BoFloor Bofix GL PVC floor tiles in their cellar areas. BoFloor is the perfect addition to cellars, as well as behind busy bar areas, as they are easy to clean, anti-slip, impermeable, very tough and extremely hard wearing. To discuss your own project flooring requirements, give us a call on 0151 355 6105 or pop us an email.
-Central London tech firm benefits from a recent refurbishment
A recently completed project in central London. We undertook a huge job recently, with the refurbishment of staff kitchen & dining areas at the offices of a well known tech firm in central London. Over 1000m2 of Altro Whiterock White – ‘W103’ was installed, together with hot welded joints. There were plenty of sloping tops to the perimeter walls too, giving our fitters a good challenge – which they successfully completed!
-New Food Production Unit – December 2021
An ongoing project to share, where works are progressing nicely at an industrial unit in Chester. Initially a blank canvas, we’ve started to transform this empty building into a food production unit that will soon be in full operation. New drainage systems have been installed, as well as newly-built partition walls, new electrical systems, plumbing and we’ve installed over 250m2 of HFS Ultima ‘Aspen White’ PVC wall cladding. Once the protective blue film has been removed, the PVC will create an easy to clean, hygienic finish. New ceilings will be installed above the existing windows to keep the natural light flowing. Next step is the new flooring and suspended ceilings. Watch this space for new updates as they happen!

Spring Project Update
We’re all still hard at work, busy with installations & projects for clients old and new – no rest for the wicked, as they say! Here’s a snippet of some of our latest completed works… We’ve completed a tricky job recently the Portmeirion Pottery factory, in Stoke on Trent. The ‘slip house’ area was in need of a refurbishment before the installation of new equipment. Being a 24/7 factory, we had to carefully plan the works to ensure that the clients daily processes were not interrupted and their product was not contaminated in any way. Due to the ‘irregular’ shapes of the walls and the large amount of existing wall mounted services, we first had to line the walls with metal studwork before applying a combination of 10 mm thick and 2.5 mm thick hygienic PVC wall panels. Aluminium chequer plate was then fitted over the lower section of the PVC wall … –

In the pool area, we also used access equipment across the pool (installed by our fully trained operatives) to allow us to reach the ceiling which also had our ‘Pearl’ cladding applied … –
