Refurbishment

Although some of our fantastic site team will be taking a short break for Christmas, there is still plenty of work taking place over the next couple of weeks.

Any necessary structural work in the bedrooms is now complete, and the partition walls for the bathrooms are in place for most of the rooms. In addition, the first stage of plumbing is nearly complete, so that basins, toilets, showers and baths can start to be fitted. The team have already made a start on fitting the shower trays and the next step will be to begin tiling.  

Not all the team will be taking a full Christmas break, as it’s important to keep the building work on schedule so that we’re all set for reopening early next year. Over the festive period, the bedroom walls will be boarded and skimmed, with all of the electrical cables fitted behind them, leaving the rooms ready for plastering. The door lining will also be fitted, along with the new lining for the floors. 

Our original wooden beams will be sandblasted and treated, restoring them to their original colour and helping to protect them against wear and tear. On the ground floor, the kitchen is nearly fully boarded, and the extractor hood will be fitted in the New Year. It won’t be too long before the other appliances and work counters will be able to be added, and we’ll have an amazing new kitchen for our chefs to create delicious dishes in.

So, there’s a lot going on, with lots more still to do! While you’re relaxing over Christmas, spare a thought for those members of our site team who will be remaining in Stow and working hard to get everything ready for the next stage of the build over the festive period.
