Refurbishment of Student Accommodation Block

We were asked to tender for the refurbishment a of student accommodation block at Hadlow College by North Kent College. The project involved the complete refurbishment, both internally and externally, of 37 bedrooms together with all communal areas which included 4 kitchens, 12 toilets and bathroom areas inlcuding shower rooms. In addition, the heating system was completely overhauled, along with a new chlorifier, the fire alarm system was replaced and the electrics were upgraded to a level suitable for HMO (House of Multiple Occupancy) and included new fittings and energy efficient lighting throughout. We also needed to source and install bedroom furniture that provided longevity, was aesthetically pleasing and value for money.

Asbestos Removal

During the project, testing was carried out with asbestos being found in the floor tile adhesive and soffits. To remove any future risks, the college instructed us to completely remove all traces of asbestos which meant that all the ground floors needed sanding back to the concrete screed. This was not only time consuming but also meant that areas could not be worked in whilst this was being carried out. Works had to be carefully programmed to ensure these additional works, along with others including extensive roof repairs, could be undertaken and still ensure the same completion date ready for the students to return. This was very challenging but we managed to complete and the students took residence on the agreed date.
