Flooring Replacement & Services Works

Overview

We were commissioned by the prestigious Royal Opera House to deliver a comprehensive two-phase flooring replacement project, across multiple key areas of the venue.

This project also included the safe disconnection and reconnection of catering equipment within the kitchen spaces, along with thorough drainage integrity checks to ensure compliance and operational efficiency.

  • Duration

    11 Days

  • Project value

    £90k

Scope of work

Across two phases, our team attended site to degrease, self-level and apply new flooring to the main kitchen, pot wash area, dishwasher area, corridor, canteen, food preparation area and loading bay.  Also excavating, investigating, sealing and fitting new drainage grilles where necessary.

This project delivered a modern, safe, and fully compliant flooring solution across multiple high-use areas, supporting the operational efficiency and long term functionality of the venue.  To minimise disruption, this project was carefully executed in two phases.
