School & commercial building works, Liverpool.

Phase one · Summer 2025

A new nursery, formed inside the existing building.

Rather than build new, the nursery was created by opening up space the school already had. High-level blockwork was cut out in controlled sections and a new engineered timber floor structure installed over the opening, with steelwork and trimming to the engineer’s detail. The existing structure was propped and monitored throughout.

The fit-out that followed covered new door openings and linings, suspended ceilings, partitions, a new WC block with cubicles, a staff kitchen, LVT flooring, decoration and second fix. Mechanical and electrical works were co-ordinated against the consultant’s design — existing underfloor heating retained and protected through the works, new wash hand basins fitted with TMV3 blending valves set and witnessed at 41°C, and new lighting and power throughout.

Phase two · February 2026

The school office, made bigger.

The school office had outgrown its footprint. The existing layout was stripped back and reset — new stud partitions set out and lined, redundant walls removed, and new door openings formed to give the office more usable floor area and a better route through to the corridor.

Ceilings were altered around the new lines, with new lighting, power and data taken from the ceiling void, then LVT flooring, skirtings, joinery and decoration throughout. Adjacent washroom works were picked up in the same visit. Because the office is the busiest room in the building, the works were sequenced and screened so the school could keep operating.
