The Project
Pacy & Wheatley have worked in conjunction with Clerkenwell Health to remodel an old existing building in Doncaster into a state-of-the-art healthcare research facility. The building we worked on was previously used for administration purposes and was in a neglected state, requiring extensive interior maintenance, which we undertook. These works included fixing leaks, repairs to external soffits, and repair works to defective plumbing. The internal works were the main focus of this project. New flooring, specialist lighting, and decorative works were carried out in different rooms, with special colour finishes chosen for health rehabilitation reasons. The refurbishment works were carried out in phases to ensure phased handovers in order for the specialist care team to move into areas of the centre at agreed times.

The Challenge
One of the main challenges involved in delivering this project was in terms of logistics. This facility was tucked into a tight corner of the Campus, which made deliveries difficult with stipulated vehicles only able to gain access. This was challenging but not insurmountable, and we managed to get all of the specialist kit required delivered and installed in place within the building. We were also working in an old building which had had little or no maintenance work carried out over many years, resulting in our on-site team being very careful when installing fixtures and fittings, which resulted in on-the-spot maintenance works being undertaken to ensure all of the newly installed items were fitted correctly and safely in order to eradicate any future issues.
In summary, our team have carried out a very difficult project in the given time schedule and within the stipulated budget. A big thank you to Duncan Henderson and his site team, and also to Steve Shaw ( Project Manager ) and Charlotte Wheatley ( QS ), for assisting with a difficult project, which the client is extremely pleased with.
Testimonial
"Working with Pacy & Wheatly Interiors was a pleasure from start to finish. Everything was delivered on time and within budget despite a number of change requests from our side during the fit-out. The onsite team were friendly with existing clients, and the finish has been very well received by everyone who's visited the site.
Huge thanks to the team as this hasn't been our experience with other contractors!"
