Faithorn Farrell Timms

Faithorn Farrell Timms has enjoyed a successful working relationship with this school, and has long been retained to oversee its various maintenance and enhancement packages.

Improvement works have included the removal of asbestos and provision of a new impact resistant gymnasium floor. This latter project was challenging, in so far as all of the gymnasium equipment needed to be removed and the floor sub-structure re-laid as the original was out of level. The gymnasium equipment needed to be re-installed to different levels, and subsequently inspected and certified as having being properly reinstated for insurance purposes.

Capital projects have included the extension of the library, which was finished with a traditional Victorian-style lead roof and lantern light arrangement, and the improvement of the playground and games pitch, with a new low impact 'all weather' surface. The latter has also enabled the school to provide the use of its sporting facilities to the community, outside school working hours.

We are experienced in the adaptation and maintenance of historic buildings, and sympathetic to the use of repair options to building elements, in preference to replacement whenever these are viable.
