Former House of Fraser Department Store, Bristol

This project was located in a prominent and very congested area of Bristol City Centre. It comprised strip out and internal demolition / enabling works to a nine storey former House of Fraser department store.

Main Points:

This was a fast track project, completed in 14 weeks using 24 hour working. It entailed:

  • Work on a very congested city centre site with severe restrictions on access and debris removal.
  • Extensive planning for services isolation, identification, protection and alteration to retain parts of the HV / LV electrical systems, substation, fire fighting and pumped drainage systems, as well as testing retained systems before and after the works.
  • Stripping back / removal of all fixtures, fittings, finishes, partitions etc to bare structure, whilst leaving retained services threaded through the works intact and protected.
  • Internal demolitions as necessary to allow store refurbishment / alteration.

Amongst others, we have also recently completed similar major enabling works / strip out contracts at:

  • Wallis / Topshop, Edinburgh
  • Littlewoods, Liverpool and Aberdeen
  • Marks and Spencer, Derby
  • British Home Stores, Bournemouth and Folkestone
