Construct a new extension to a primary school using pile foundations; brick built building, flat felt roof, external access ramp and internal remodelling.
The foundations used steel pile foundations and a concrete ring beam.

The original school building was almost completely constructed of cement based facing bricks which has weathered considerably over the 30-40 years that the school has been in existence. Finding a brick to match the existing weathered bricks in both appearance and texture was challenging but we managed to source a suitable brick which our expert bricklayers laid beautifully using time honoured techniques.

The congregation of the Millom Methodist Church had outgrown its existing traditionally built church hall building and decided to have the building extended to nearly double its original size!

To give the appearance that the extension was an original part of the building and not a later addition, the front gable of the new extension would have to be faced using dressed slate and sandstones quoins, cills and lintels. Internally we were required to exactly copy the existing King Trusses so that the interior of the extension would match the original building.
