A new chapter for The Old Dairy Estate in Crouch End.
We were appointed by Friern Manor Dairy Farms to carry out a major Cat A refurbishment across four commercial units, transforming ageing accommodation into modern, compliant and energy-efficient space while retaining the character of this historic estate.
The scope was extensive and included:
β
structural and fabric improvements
β
new windows and roofing
β
upgraded M&E
β
improved insulation
β
new kitchens and WCs
β
upgrades to the residential accommodation above
The finished scheme provides high-quality space ready for new occupiers, with improved EPC performance and stronger tenant appeal and feedback from our client was brilliant:
"Form successfully delivered a complex programme of commercial and residential refurbishment works across the Old Dairy. They worked around our existing occupiers and enabling businesses to remain operational throughout. Their team managed the challenges of a historic mixed-use estate extremely well, balancing modern compliance and energy-performance improvements with the character of the buildings.
The result is a significantly enhanced estate, with high-quality, commercial ready spaces that are more attractive to both commercial and residential occupiers."
Thank you Barbara, Friern Manor Dairy Farms Ltd
A really rewarding project, and a great example of what can be achieved with the right approach to landlord refurbishment.
