Project Overview

Future Regeneration was appointed to deliver a comprehensive internal refurbishment across two residential blocks at St. Johns Point. The project was designed to modernise communal areas, enhance fire safety compliance, and improve the overall resident experience.

This major works package involved the coordination of multiple trades, including plastering, decorating, electrical, flooring, and fire safety specialists. All works were carried out in a live environment, requiring careful planning, phased delivery, and close communication with residents and stakeholders.

Primary Objectives of the Project

  1. Modernise Internal Communal Areas
    Strip outdated finishes and deliver a fresh, contemporary aesthetic across both blocks.
  2. Enhance Fire Safety Compliance
    Upgrade fire doors and install new addressable fire alarm systems in both buildings.
  3. Improve Lighting and Energy Efficiency
    Replace outdated lighting with a modern, energy-efficient LED system.
  4. Deliver a Comfortable, Resident-Friendly Environment
    Install new carpets and redecorate throughout to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
  5. Coordinate Multi-Trade Delivery with Minimal Disruption
    Execute all works in a live environment with minimal impact on residents.
  6. Ensure Long-Term Value and Compliance
    Use high-quality materials and certified systems to reduce future maintenance and ensure regulatory compliance.

Steps of Implementation

  1. Initial Survey & Planning
    A full condition survey was undertaken to assess the scope of works, identify fire safety priorities, and plan a phased delivery strategy.
  2. Wallpaper Removal & Plaster Repairs
    All existing wall coverings were removed, followed by extensive plaster repairs and surface preparation across communal areas.
  3. Lighting System Upgrade
    A new LED lighting system was installed throughout, including emergency lighting and motion sensors for energy efficiency.
  4. Fire Door Replacement & Fire Alarm Installation
    All communal fire doors were upgraded to meet current standards. Two new addressable fire alarm systems were installed and commissioned—one per block.
  5. Redecoration & Carpet Installation
    Full redecoration of walls, ceilings, and woodwork was completed, followed by the installation of high-quality commercial-grade carpets.
  6. Resident Communication & Phased Delivery
    Works were delivered in phases to minimise disruption, with regular updates and clear signage provided to residents throughout.
