Challenges

The project encountered several challenges, primarily due to severe winter weather conditions:

  • Cold Weather Impact: The exceptionally cold winter affected the drying times for plastering works. This delay necessitated an extension of the project timeline to ensure the plastering and subsequent painting were completed to the highest standards.
  • Use of Humidifiers: In response to the cold weather, temporary humidifiers were installed in some properties to expedite the drying process and maintain the project schedule

  • Completed Installations: A total of 59 kitchens were installed in tenants’ homes in Oldham. Each installation was tailored to enhance the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the kitchens.
  • Enhanced Quality of Life: Tenants received significantly upgraded kitchens with better layouts to accommodate their needs and cooking facilities. The new kitchens were designed to improve both the practicality and comfort of the living spaces, contributing to a better quality of life for the residents.
  • High-Quality Workmanship: The project was completed with meticulous attention to detail, from the initial rip-out to the final painting and finishing touches. The use of high-quality materials and precise craftsmanship ensured that each kitchen met the highest standards of durability and design.
  • Adaptability and Problem-Solving: Our ability to adapt to the unexpected challenges posed by the cold weather and logistical adjustments demonstrated our commitment to delivering the project on time and to the satisfaction of all stakeholders.

Had solar panels installed by Grant Store and the whole experience greatly exceeded expectations. The process was very smooth, from the booking, to the communication of the steps, through to execution. It's a 3 day process (actually 3 half days). The scaffolders, the roofers and the electricians all arrived as expected and just got on with the job and all of them were friendly and communicated well. I don't usually leave reviews but this level of service deserves recognition
