East Boldre War Memorial Village Hall holds a place in local history that few buildings can match. It is the last surviving First World War airfield building in the New Forest, and the community around it has invested considerable effort in seeing it restored to its full potential. The wider refurbishment programme, valued at £450,000 and funded through grants, donations, and ongoing fundraising, aimed to preserve the hall's heritage while transforming it into a modern facility capable of hosting a much wider range of community events and activities.
Case Studies
Wessex Water required a full envelope refurbishment of one of their commercial facilities. The objective was a cohesive, professional finish that would bring the building in line with current expectations for a commercial facility of this type.
PC Flooring's new office premises on Dawkins Road in Poole required a full roof replacement as part of their building fit-out. The existing roof contained asbestos-containing materials that needed to be safely removed before any new installation could begin. Once cleared, the brief called for a modern, thermally efficient roof system with new perimeter flashings and rainwater goods to complete the envelope.
A new indoor padel and tennis facility near Shaftesbury in north Dorset required a complete roof and wall cladding package to enclose a large steel-framed building from the ground up. The structure featured a distinctive curved, barrel-vault roof profile, presenting a cladding challenge that demanded precision workmanship and material choices suited to a long-span, high-specification sports facility.
Harbour View Crematorium in Lytchett, Dorset, required a complete commercial roofing solution that would deliver long-term weather protection, improved thermal performance, and reliable rainwater management for a public-facing building. The client needed a high-quality installation carried out to the highest standard, with minimal disruption throughout.
