Our team was chosen by Galliford Try to undertake the works due to the proven high-quality, long-lasting and fast-cure Acrylicon resin systems we install, as well as our experience of delivering complicated refurbishment works within short timescales.
“The scope of the project involved the complete refurbishment of 80 shower cubicles and 10 kitchens, these being spread throughout 3 house blocks of two storeys, comprising 2 blocks of 32 rooms and 4 kitchens, and 1 of 16 rooms and 2 kitchens.
The various wings of the house blocks had their occupants decanted as the works progressed and re-populated after completion of each phase of the works.
Security procedures had to be maintained and complied with at all times by the contractors, including being escorted and supervised by custodial staff at all times.
The Acrylicon scope of works included all preparation works; this involved grinding and sand blasting of the shower walls and ceilings, and grinding kitchen floors as required.
New centrally located floor gullies were installed by the Acrylicon team within each shower, the floors then laid to falls to improve drainage; in the process the team constructed a shower tray, in contrast to the original design that had no control of surface water.
Shower walls and initially some ceilings had the complete Acrylicon system applied, but as the project progressed, the nature of materials employed was changed to adapt to the unique site requirements and conditions.
The kitchen floors were completely re-laid to give a hard-wearing, slip-resistant surface, and coved skirtings incorporated to provide a totally protected area.
The Acrylicon system was used to provide a fully warranted, waterproof and resilient finish in all affected areas.
Due to the nature of this project, it required a close-knit core of contractors who worked in unique conditions and site-specific restrictions. The Acrylicon team acquitted themselves successfully in this situation, and their interaction and co-ordination with other contractors made the project run smoothly.”
