The Building & Maintenance team has been extremely busy following a successful tender with the YORbuild scheme when Houlton were delighted to be selected as City of York Council’s Asset Maintenance Programme contractor.
Council House Re-roofs Patrington, Patrington Haven, Hedon, Withernsea and Preston
As part of its ongoing maintenance programme of housing stock, East Riding of Yorkshire Council appointed Houlton to re-roof 127 properties in Patrington, Patrington Haven, Hedon, Withernsea and Preston.
A substantial investment to revitalize the old Humbrol factory site on Hedon Road, Hull began with the £1.4 million Warehouse and Office Refurbishment, together with new access roads, concrete hard-standings and a new electrical power sub-station.
The YORbuild Lot 1 project was to provide an “inside out classroom” at Quay Primary School in Bridlington. The work was carried out during the summer break and involved the provision of an all-weather outside classroom which was achieved by installing three bespoke tent-roofed “Cube Pods” on the school playground.
Houlton successfully won a £452,000 tender under the YORbuild framework to remove 600 metres of defective overhanging
concrete canopy roof slabs at Cottingham High School. The contract became urgent when a single 150kg slab made the headlines after it fell from a 3 storey building, thankfully when the school was closed.
