The Project

Pacy and Wheatley Interiors have completed a hotel refurbishment for the Holiday Inn in Salford Quays, Manchester. The Holiday Inn is a small, contemporary hotel set by the water. The hotel overlooks the Manchester Ship Canal within the Salford Quays development and was built around 2001. It was decided earlier this year to upgrade the breakfast dining area. We were appointed on a negotiated cost basis to carry out an upgrade to the tired looking breakfast room. The works involved upgrading the Corian worktops within this area as they had become worn and scratched. Cracks were appearing which looked unprofessional, and the worktops were becoming unfit for purpose. We carried out repairs to the worktops and replaced the ones which were beyond repair. The works needed to be coordinated in such a way to minimise disruption to guests staying at the hotel. This meant that we could not commence our works until after 10am and had to vacate the area by 5pm. The solution achieved was a brighter, more functional breakfast dining experience.

The Project

The project at The Marriott Hotel, London, involved major interior refurbishment works to the Conference & Banqueting areas to the very busy 4* hotel. The task was to open up a rather dated and cluttered ground floor area incorporating a new bespoke steel staircase, new marble flooring and soft carpet areas. The project also included the full refurbishment of existing rest rooms where all the finishes and sanitary ware was stripped out and all new installed. Lighting, flooring and decoration were also changed more than once due to design changes whilst works were in progress.

4 new meeting and conference rooms were formed, along with a state of the art executive lounge and gift shop. The hotel reception area was fully refurbished and the entrance was altered to add a further automatic door entrance/exit facility to facilitate the number of people coming and going in this very busy hotel. The hotel is used for flight crews who come and go at all times of the day and night. This affected our programme of works as we were constantly stopped from working due to noise restrictions requiring the project to be very delicately managed by our site team in order to mitigate any inconvenience to the hotel guests.

The Project

Pacy & Wheatley were appointed as the main contractor to carry out both internal and external refurbishment to various areas of Center Parcs, Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire. The job comprised of numerous internal and external refurbishments and upgrades throughout the main square of Center Parcs. This included External cladding to the ATM area, Internal upgrades to the Adult Changing Room facilities, External cladding, rendering and redecoration to the Rajinda Pradesh and Bella Italia restaurants. The project was carried out over a 6 week programme, working on extremely flexible hours, over 2 phases of the day (6-11, 4-10). This had no effect on the outcome of the project and was handed over on time, with zero defects.

Project Description

Pacy & Wheatley Interiors has completed a full interior fit-out at Centre Parcs in Elveden Forest. The fit-out formed the biggest Pancake House restaurant across all Centre Parcs resorts, which now seats 344 compared to 212. Works include a new dining area, toilets, children’s soft play area, kitchen installed with all new commercial equipment, and Centre Parcs’ infamous pancake wheel. New ceilings and lighting have also been installed, along with new leather seating booths and a meet and greet section. New flooring has been laid within the restaurant area and sections of the back of the house. Alterations to the existing mechanical services have taken place to facilitate the introduction of the new amenities. We have also conducted works externally, forming new pathways and fencing creating outside seating positioned to look over the lake. This was the first Pancake House Pacy & Wheatley had completed for Centre Parc, which was followed by negotiating and completing another at Longleat Forest in Wiltshire.
