We are proud to have completed a very unusual project for our clients Hampshire Fire & Rescue Service at Fort Widley Portsdown Hill, Portsmouth as part of our heritage works. Fort Widley is one of the grade 2 listed Palmerston Forts built on top of Portsdown Hill in the 1860’s to protect Portsmouth from attack from the rear & was used temporarily by our client as a rescue training facility. The project included the internal & external removal of a significant quantity of training apparatus materials forming disaster scenarios & the later installation of ecology bat roosts for some of the countries rarest bat species & masonry repairs.

We have now completed the works at St Bartholomew’s Church, King Alfred Place, Winchester for The PCC of St Bartholomew working with Lopp Architects & NT Surveying.

The project has successfully delivered a new accessible entrance to the church & lobby together with additional toilet facilities. The internal works included detailed oak joinery produced both on & off site by our direct workforce. Yet another heritage project for the whole team to be proud of!

We completed the full refurbishment of Cheyney Court for Winchester Cathedral. This included roofing work, sash and critical window repairs, completely new M&E systems, full redecoration, bathroom and kitchen replacements.

Our team of qualified artisans ensures we complete a professional outcome on time and within budget.

We are very proud to share this professionally captured drone footage of the ongoing works to Netley Chapel, Royal Victoria Country Park, Southampton which are being undertaken for Hampshire County Council. The scaffolding works by Skill Scaffolding have required early engagement, detailed co-ordination, sensitive planning & a technically robust access solution around this iconic waterfront landmark. We are also pleased to work with Southern Hoist (Claude Fenton Hire Ltd) who supplied their specialist breast cancer awareness hoist, ‘’Poppy the Pink’’. 20% of the hire revenue from this hoist is donated to supporting breast cancer charities
