Milk Factory Refurbishment

The contract involved the converting of an 11,000ft² former milk factory in Leith transforming it into a luxury private residential dwelling and separate live working space for the clients. The roof in the centre of the building was stripped away to create an inward-facing courtyard that links the house and work-space. Majority of the bespoke joinery was manufactured using old reclaimed timber joists that dated over 100 years and was restored to provide new furniture and fitments for the three story residential area. The wood flooring was sanded back and restored throughout the whole upper floor with new concrete slab containing underfloor heating being filled on the ground floor and courtyard creating a nice spacious overall look.

The full works comprised:

• Strip out of existing facilities along with ceilings, flooring, Partitions and M&E Services
• Removal of sections of brick wall and concrete slab
• Removal of plant and machinery from elevator void
• Installation of structural steel, new windows, roof lights and glazed screens
• Installation of new roof and internal landscape area
• New M&E Services
• Installation of ground source heat pump and new steel staircase
• Installation of bespoke manufactured items using old reclaimed timber
• Decoration throughout
• Form openings in pitched roof deck for new Velux windows
• Remove extents of existing upper flat roof membrane and strip back to structural joists.
• New concrete slab on ground floor

All works were carried out within normal working hours with minimal disruption to adjoining residential areas.  Daily discussions between the relevant parties and ourselves were arranged to ensure any works being carried out were agreed and all relevant parties made aware.0196
