Refurbishment Projects

Redcar Racecourse – Turnstile Building

GRP were contracted to demolish the old turnstile building and replace it with a brand new one. The old building was timber which was in a poor state of repair. The new building was constructed with a timber frame and clad with Cedral Weatherboard. The whole project took 2 weeks to complete.

The frame was then clad with new box profile sheets on the roof and sides. The contract was completed between race meetings to avoid disruption.

Finisthwaite Garage

Due to the poor condition of the cement asbestos GRP asked to remove the roof and replace it with box profile roof sheets.

The structural roof timbers were checked before the new roof sheets were fitted. The works were completed within a day causing very little disruption to the client.

Riverside Stadium

GRP were contracted by Wharton Construction to carry out the strip out works ready for the refurbishment of the new changing rooms. GRP completed the works within the 2 day timescale to make sure Wharton Construction could complete the works on time.

Wetherby Racecourse Stable Block

GRP were tasked with the asbestos removal and re-roofing of the stable block by Wetherby Racecourse.

The works also included the careful recovery of architectural stone and slate for reuse later in the project
