This project comprised a comprehensive landlord enabling package at Bompton Gate, delivering the structural alterations, infrastructure upgrades and external improvements required to prepare the development for future occupiers.

Working under a design and build contract, we collaborated closely with the client to ensure their detailed specification was fully incorporated into the project, delivering a solution tailored to the operational requirements of the development.

The works included the demolition and adaptation of five retail units and two floors of office accommodation, creating flexible commercial spaces ready for tenant fit out. Extensive structural alterations were undertaken to improve circulation throughout the building, enhancing accessibility and the overall functionality of the development.

A key feature of the project was the installation of a new feature shopfront, incorporating high-quality brass detailing and Portland stone finishes to provide an attractive and contemporary façade.

To improve accessibility and servicing, a new external lift shaft was constructed, complete with the installation of a DDA-compliant goods lift. In addition, comprehensive utility enabling works were carried out, including the provision of new power, water and BT services, ensuring the building was fully prepared for future occupation.

The completed landlord enabling works successfully transformed the property into a modern, adaptable commercial development, providing high-quality retail and office accommodation ready for the next phase of occupation.

Project Details:

This project involved the alteration and subdivision of an existing retail unit to create two separate units, together with external refurbishment works to enhance the appearance of the retail park.

The existing retail range was stripped out before the unit was divided into two independent retail spaces. New shopfronts were installed to both units, along with a new full-height internal party wall to provide the required separation between occupancies.

Externally, the existing cladding was repaired where required and fully resprayed to refresh the building’s appearance. A new totem sign was installed to improve visibility and wayfinding within the retail park.

The works also included the removal of the existing signage, the installation of new secondary steelwork to support replacement signage, and all associated making good works to complete the external refurbishment.

This project involved the extensive reconfiguration of an existing commercial unit to create two separate retail spaces, providing a new ground floor unit for PureGym and a first-floor unit for Bensons for Beds.

A new structural mezzanine floor was installed to divide the building into two independent units. The mezzanine was constructed with the appropriate perimeter cavity barriers to achieve the required acoustic and fire performance, ensuring effective sound insulation and fire compartmentation between the gym and the retail space above.

The external façade was upgraded with the installation of new glazed shopfronts, complete with new entrance doors and feature canopies, enhancing both the appearance and functionality of the building. Structural alterations included adjustments to the secondary steelwork to accommodate the new layout, alongside rainwater pipe diversions to suit the revised building configuration.

To support the operational requirements of Bensons for Beds, a new back-of-house staircase and a Stannah goods lift were installed, providing safe and efficient access for deliveries and stock movement to the first floor.

External refurbishment works included cladding repairs and replacements, the application of new white lining, and the replacement of the existing balustrade to the 1^st floor car park, improving both the safety and overall appearance of the development.

The completed landlord works successfully transformed the property into two modern, fully functional commercial units, ready for occupation by their respective tenants.

LondonMetric is a FTSE 100 real estate company that owns £7 billion of structurally supported assets.

Project Details:

The unit, which was once a Homebase, needed stripping out and existing facades demolishing before preparing for the Main works.

Groundworks started immediately, with drainage routes needing to be rerouted, new footings for the trolley bays, a tiled entrance, and the car park needing re-tarmacking.

We installed a new roof, Kingspan cladding fixed onto a new steel frame and a rear canopy, which overhangs the new scissor lift pit. At the rear, the tenant has a new acoustic louvre surrounding the plant area, to ensure neighbours have minimal disruptions.

We introduced glazing and auto bi-parting doors to South-east elevation, and finished the rest of the facade with bespoke green tiling on the piers.

The finishing touches included a mist coat to the interior walls and ceiling, new SR3 doors, a roller shutter and white lining works.
