The Tetley, Leeds

£1,500,000 Client: Carlsberg UK Ltd and Project Space Leeds

The Tetley Headquarters built in 1931, plays an important part of Leeds’ heritage and has become an iconic landmark on the outskirts of the city centre.

Brewing ceased in 2011 and the building remained redundant. until Project Space agreed a tenancy and funding to create an Art Gallery, Restaurant, and Bar with Carlsberg UK Ltd. Demolition works to the existing first and second floor plate were undertaken

by Carlsberg UK Ltd and Esh Build were appointed to refurbish and restore the ground, first, second floor with new gallery areas, restaurant, bar and kitchen area.

The scope of works included the creation of a ‘Canvas Wall’, which is the main feature and can be seen from the balconies on all floors. New internal entrances were formed and the removal of interior walls to rooms on the first and second floor to house gallery and workshop spaces.

Works to the ground floor comprised of creating an open plan reception, bar and café area with a separate dining room for the restaurant and kitchen. This also included the provision of new toilet facilities and a

baby changing area to make the Tetley’s building family friendly.

An event space was also created with a hidden sliding door to allow separate access to the area from the reception area.

External entrances were formed to connect a steel external staircase incorporating a disabled access lift.

The building required electrical and data upgrades and the installation of a new fire alarm system.

External works comprised of creating a decking area for the restaurant to be used during warmer weather and resin bonding to the side and front elevations. A service yard with perimeter fencing was also provided.

Key Issues and How They Were Managed The creation of the new external entrances presented structural integrity problems and involved the detailing of a temporary works package, needling the walls until the new lintels were installed and the surrounding brickwork finished.

The Tetley, Leeds

Contract Duration: 20 Weeks Form of Contract: JCT Standard Form

Due to design changes with the external steel structural staircase we were faced with a delay of over seven weeks. We worked with the client and the fit out contractor who were providing the bar and kitchen facilities.

We overlapped our programme to run alongside the fit out contractor to complete the remaining works. The cooperation and communication of all members of the design team ensured that the grand opening of the 29th November 2013 was achieved.

Successful Outcomes Timber and wood paneling was found in the basement of the building, which had been stripped out during the demolition works completed by Carlsberg UK Ltd. The timber was reused to create a tongue and groove effect paneling in the restaurant and bar area. The timber panels were used in the upper floor gallery spaces where needed using traditional installation methods.

The remaining timber was used to create the table tops for the restaurant and provided replacement skirting and architraves.

The original lift was cleaned and restored; although not suitable for public use, it is the one of the main surviving original features and highlights the history of the building. The First and Second World War memorials were protected during the works and restored for a memorial service held by Carlsberg UK Ltd staff. The boardroom remains intact along with the parquet flooring which has been fully restored. The porcelain light fittings found around the building were restored and have been used throughout.

The Tetley family, who now reside in Canada, visited the site to during the works and since the building has been open to the public it has received over 75,000 visitors.

The project was highly commended in the RICS Awards Pro Yorkshire 2014 Building Conservation Award.

Pennine House, Leeds

£5,000,000 Client: British Airways Trustees Ltd and London Cornwall Property Partners Ltd

The project comprises of the strip out and alteration to an existing seven storey office block and construction of a new eighth floor to form 127 bed student accommodations on Russell Street in the heart of Leeds City Centre.

An existing office block has been altered and refurbished to provide 127 bed student accommodation. The alterations provide students with contemporary studios, 2 bed apartments and penthouse accommodation with associated common areas. The newly constructed 4,400m² eighth floor houses a new bar and restaurant whilst the lower ground floor accommodates a new communication room, office, plant room, gym, lounge, games room, cinema, bin store and laundry facilities. The lower ground floor and ground floor also have retails spaces available for let.

We removed all internal partitions to return the building to an open floor plate. This also involved the stripping out of the existing ceilings and services. Once complete we over clad the external façade, replaced windows and divided each floor level into 15 individual student units. 14 units are for single occupation and 1 double accommodation.

The new internal layout was constructed through the installation of a lightweight acoustic partition system which provided students with self contained

apartments containing bedroom, work station, dining area and bathroom pod containing shower, toilet and wash basin.

The site has electronic access, onsite management and concierge team, plus 24 hour helpline and CCTV. The accommodation is accredited by ANUK code of Standards.

As part of the works we also installed a new fire fighting lift to enable evacuation of the building. The lift is specially designed to provide Fire and Rescue Teams with a two hour access window. In addition a new fire escape was constructed by cutting through the existing floor plates and constructing a new steel stair case.

Key Issues and How They Were Managed The area surrounding the building is predominantly offices, restaurants and bars. We have implemented procedures to mitigate disruption to these businesses during the works. A strategic Vehicle and Public Segregation Management Plan was implemented for deliveries, staff and public Health and Safety and was issued this to Leeds City Council for approval prior to implementation.

Pennine House, Leeds

Contract Duration: 48 Weeks Form of Contract: JCT Design and Build 2011 Incorperating Amendments

The Strategic Vehicle and Public Segregation Plan takes into account the road behind the site (Greek Street) that leads onto King Street which forms part of the Leeds City Centre loop road.

on our deliveries schedule board to minimise the disruption to the everyday running of the nearby premises.

Successful Outcomes

We worked closely with the surrounding businesses to coordinate our deliveries around their own and peak traffic times. We also implemented a one way system to minimise disruption to the traffic flow. We also implemented a delivery schedule board to book deliveries into the available time slots to prevent congestion.

Solid hoarding was erected around the site and our compound and was interspersed with Heras Fencing panels to enable all parties to see each other reducing the risk of accidents involving staff, site vehicles, the public and motorists. We tried wherever possible to reduce the number of road closures however where this was required we carried these out at a weekend and with approval from highways.

Due to the proximity of our site to live and occupied premises we liaised closely with all parties through leaflets and letter drops to inform of our works and provide contact details for our onsite contact. Our Site Manager also visited the businesses to discuss any concerns or answer any queries they may have had.

During these meetings we also recorded restrictions such as deliveries or events, these were then recorded

The building was designed to achieve BREEAM Very Good rating which was deemed the best possible rating due to the nature of building. To achieve BREEAM we improved the acoustic performance through the installation of acoustic panels and acoustic rated vinyl to reduce floor to floor noise. We also installed a secondary glazing system and applied ISO wool to the perimeter walls which improved the thermal properties of the building and reduced the requirement for supplementary heating throughout the building.

Bathrooms have been fitted with dual flush toilets to reduce water consumption.

Whilst carrying out the works we encountered structural elements which were initially identified during tender stage. We had to break out these elements and to ensure there was no delay to our programme we amended our works orders and increased working hours.
