Kitchen and Toilet Refurbishment in Melksham

Client: Novacast
Value: £14k

The aim of the kitchen and toilet refurbishment project for Novacast in Melksham, was to make the toilet more pleasant for the staff and make the kitchen more functional. Both had become a dumping ground and with most of the kitchen broken and unusable.

Then kitchen was replaced with a smaller but more functional tea point with an integrated fridge.

The toilet was replaced with a new close couple toilet and full pedestal basin. This looks much more modern and the boxed in pipework keeps the room looking much cleaner.

Also replaced were the suspended ceilings, lighting and flooring. Everything we usually do for an office refurbishment, so well within our skill set of what we can do.

Preliminary work

We would normally produce sample boards and drawings for kitchens and toilets. This job however was more focused on getting back to a clean and simple standard with functionality being most important.

Existing Kitchen and Toilet

The first job was to strip out the existing toilet and kitchen.

We installed new electrical chasing into the walls for the kitchen before filling all the holes in the walls and making good ready for decorations.

The toilets had new plasterboard boxing built to hide all of the pipework making it much nicer to look at and whilst being much easier keep clean.

We then replaced the suspended ceiling tiles for modern flat white tiles with fresh bright LED panels.

The new kitchen was a simple but modern grey gloss slab with a concrete worktop and backboard with an integrated fridge an a new smaller water heater.

The toilet got a modern close coupled toilet with a soft close seat along with a full pedestal basin to keep as many pipes out of sight along with a non-concussive tap to save water.

Completed Kitchen and Toilet

Both the Kitchen and Toilet were painted in a crisp white with fresh black laminate skirting and a modern grey oak vinyl flooring for a fresh and clean look.

The finish product was a toilet the staff felt comfortable using and a clean and functional kitchen where staff could make drinks and sit away from their desk.

Office Toilet Refurbishment in Calne

Client: Fabrinet
Value: £77k

The office toilet refurbishment project for Fabrinet in Calne,  included toilet blocks on each floor as well as the disabled toilet off the reception area. Each had not been decorated or refurbished since the building was built around 20 years ago.

A requirement was also for speed, the work needed to be started between 7 and 10 days from sorting out the specification so we needed to be organised.

As well as replacing all of the vanity units and cubicle systems, all of the sanitary wear, taps and ancillaries were replaced. Also replaced were the suspended ceilings, lighting and flooring. Everything we usually do for an office refurbishment, so well within our skill set of what we can do. The first task as always, is to draw everything and work out the costs versus the finishes to get with the budget. Bearing in mind although the figure seems high, there were 4 big toilet blocks to do, as well as the small disabled toilet at the front of the building so quite a bit of work.

Office toilet refurbishment projects are not a great deal different to residential, only that things like cubicle partitions, vanity units and items like infra-red taps are more likely to be used. The flooring as well tends to be non-slip flooring as it is usually washed down each night by an army of office cleaners that also clean the office areas.

Preliminary work

We would normally produce sample boards and more drawings but we really did not have much time to do anything. We had to work out the costs very quickly and we provided some physical samples of tiles and brochures for the cubicles and we were starting, really quick..

Existing Toilets

Work in Progress photographs

We took over 700 photographs on this project over 6 weeks, below is just some of them. With 4 main toilet blocks and 3 disabled toilet rooms as well we had to run some of the rooms concurrently with work.

Completion photographs

We think that people forget how bad the old toilets were. The grey colour scheme was in keeping with Fabrinet corporate colours and they really needed to be done and we enjoyed carrying out the work.
