In many ways, the refurbishment of educational and hospital building is more complex than new construction. These projects demand a professional, multi-skilled approach. The successful conclusion to any such renovation project requires a creative, innovative and caring approach, which is sympathetic to the particular operational environment encountered.

Concrete Repairs Limited (CRL) school, college, university and hospital renovation services include the remedying of structural defects, improvement of the building’s visual appearance and its impact on the environment, its energy demands and special needs, all of which are carried out with minimum disruption to patients and students.

Services include building surveys and diagnosis, contract recommendations and budget costings, pitched and flat roofing, structural repair and protective coatings, external wall insulation, overcladding and visual improvement, window replacement or repair, architectural improvements, security systems and lighting, mechanical and electrical services, medical gas supplies, fire control systems, flooring, soft landscaping, drainage works, environmental energy improvements.

CRL is capable of handling straightforward remedial works, as well as major high value, multi-disciplined, contracts. The company’s detailed understanding of these special buildings allows it to innovate and advise on specific requirements, to ensure that work is carried out correctly and safely, to ‘best value’ and within budget. As an example, out of 2,000 sites inspected, CRL’s façade renovation of Pilgrim Hospital, Boston (for United Lincolnshire NHS Trust) was adjudged the UK’s most ‘Considerate Site’ in 2004.
