Bringing Efficiencies and Colour to a collection of flats in Skelmersdale.

Project involved the refurbishment of housing stock owned by West Lancashire Borough Council.

This particular project was a collection of 4 – 5 story blocks of flats named Evington.

The blocks of flats listed on this project are of a Wimpey No Fines, Non-Traditional Build Type and are listed by the council as “The Stub Blocks”.

Built back in the 60’s and a collection of over 30 blocks throughout this urban neighbourhood in Skelmersdale. The client has been gradually upgrading these blocks since 2019 and this includes the installation of a 110mm Rockwool Mineral Wool EWI System with a Johnstone’s Silicone Enhanced Render Finish in a carefully selected colour design.

The blocks have undertaken a full revamp with new roofs, water waste pipes, windows, doors and much more.

Challenges:

The blocks are in the heart of an urban neighbourhood not accessible fully by road. So it was a challenge to manage material movement throughout the site.

The blocks are of a non-traditional build type which requires additional consideration.

Carefully selected colour collection specified by the project design team.

PPG Architectural Coatings UK Ltd overcame the challenges of non-trad refurbishment to effectively deliver efficiencies and colour to a collection of flats in Skelmersdale.
