B & E Boys complete construction work on Riggs Rochdale garden centre after extensive fire damage.

Following a devastating fire towards the back end of 2009 Gordon Riggs Garden Centre in Rochdale had a significant portion of their retail area put out of action. Following an instruction from their Insurers, B and E Boys commenced work on re-building the burnt out section of the Garden Centre. This work in now nearing completion and the Garden Centre will be fully operational in time for the Easter Break.  The design included the re-instatement of a faceted glazed roof, which can be seen as you approach from the M62 at Junction 22. The Architect and the Structural Engineer was Thomasons.

B & E Boys are often called in do undertake fire damage work on behalf of unsurers and have previously been employed to undertake work on buildings such as the Poundland Store in Cheetham Hill, and Viridors waste recycling plant in St Helens.

B & E Boys are able to offer quick mobilisation where business recovery times are essential.

B & E Boys work on 5th project for East Lancashire NHS Primary Care Trust, on Eagle Street Accrington.

B & E Boys are currently working for N.H.S. East Lancs P.C.T on a re-furbishment of their offices on Eagle Street, Accrington. The work will create additional clinical space, which will be used by external agencies to maximise N.H.S. resources. The contract is currently nearing completion and will be completed within the original time frame and within budget.

The Architect is Blue Sky Architects who provide architectural services for many of the East Lancashire NHS schemes and the Services Engineers are Pettet Singleton Associates.

This will be the 5th Contract that B and E Boys have completed for East Lancs P.C.T. within the last two years, with other schemes including the Waterfoot and Clitheroe Health Centres. Boys have worked hard to deliver quality projects for the NHS and we hope we can maintain the current relationship we have with the P.C.T. well in to the future.

Construction services in the health care sector is something that B & E Boys have been providing for several decades having worked at Royal Preston Hospital as well as working at several Ramsay Healthcare centres in locations such as Nottingham, Preston, Salford and Bingley.

Work can be complex with a clear understanding of how facilities work being needed and often being done out of hours to ensure cleanliness at the facilities is not compromised.

B & E Boys Construction complete work to St Annes Church, Edgeside, Waterfoot.

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Renovation and improvement work to St Annes Church, Waterfoot completed.

B & E Boys have now completed work at the above church creating a new entrance, kitchen and toilet facility at the front of the church BUT with a twist. Architects Anthony Grimshaw Associates and the forward thinking Rev Rod Beavan came up with the idea the new space should look like the hull of the Arc from the front of the Church.

The complicated structure has been erected using structural steel and timber and encompasses a new Kitchen and Servery, disabled toilet and cloakroom facilities.

Before any work could commence the old floor was excavated and replaced by a new floor construction accommodating under floor heating. The new heating is a far more efficient way of heating large areas such as the Church. Other works included redecoration, damp proof works to external walls, roof insulation, electrical, mechanical and drainage works.

B & E Boys are well versed at undertaking work in Church buildings and have successfully converted the formed St James Church in Waterfoot and St Marys Chambers in Rawtenstall into office accommodation.
