Friday 17th February
This has been a better week for us as the weather has enables brickwork to continue. As you can see the front tower is now complete and the stair tower is progressing well. We have also completed the pour of the screed for the first floor as well as the reception area. Most of the glazing has been completed and the internal plastering has now also started. We hope to complete the tower next week and continue with internal partitions.
Friday 10th February
Another frustrating week, thanks to the cold weather. We have not been able to carry out any external brickwork around the reception and the stair tower; this is preventing us from completing the roof. However 1st fix is progressing well inside the building, the boilers are now fitted, and electrical cabling is being pulled. All the glazing has now arrived and this will be fitted next week. Most of the internal partitioning is also now is place. Next week will see continuation of the brickwork if temperatures allow as well as installation of the lift.
Friday 3rd February
This week has been a frustration week for us due to the cold weather. We have been unable to do much of the exterior brickwork for most of the week. Inside however first fix is progressing well both in the mill and the new build. We have been unable to finish the screed on the first floor, again due to the cold weather. Most of the window frames are now fitted with only the reception area to complete ready for the glass.
Friday 27th January
We have had another good week with lots of activity on site. The first layer of roofing sheets have now been fitted to the new build. At least now most of the rain is kept out of the building.

Next week we hope to lay the screed on the first floor as well as start on window frames.
Friday 20th January
This week the weather has not been so good for us. We were unable to progress the exterior wall for 2 days due to cold conditions. It has therefore been a race to complete as much of the exterior walls as possible to enable the roofers to start next week. As you can see there is only the reception end to now finish and so the roofing can start on Monday from the other end. The floor screed in the mill has now been laid and internal block work and partitioning is progressing wall as with the first fix.
