Our works at Loddon Valley Leisure Centre on behalf of Wokingham Borough, alongside Thames Valley Surveying Limited, have now been successfully completed and the swimming pool area has officially been handed back to the client 👏

Our team carried out urgent ducting repairs along with decoration works to selective areas within the swimming pool facility. Due to the intense working environment, additional safety measures were carefully implemented throughout the project to ensure the wellbeing of our team at all times, while maintaining our high health and safety standards.

Amazing work from everyone involved — you should all be proud of yourselves!

We’re proud to share the successful completion of our most recent works at Leighton Park School, within the Peckover Building.

Our team carried out a ceiling refurbishment within the hall after the existing ceiling was identified as being in poor condition. We delivered a high-quality upgrade that improves both performance and appearance while carefully preserving the building’s original features.

In addition to the hall, we also refurbished three classrooms, enhancing the learning environment with the same level of care, precision, and attention to detail.

It’s been a pleasure to once again support the school, delivering safe, durable, and carefully executed upgrades across these important spaces.

Welcome home Rob and well done!

Our apprentice Rob Vine has recently returned from Arusha, Tanzania together with Josh from Moorland Heritage, where they spent two weeks carrying out volunteer building works at a local School in a Maasai community through Projects Abroad following their success in the 2025 TVCTA Apprenticeship Awards

We’d like to extend our thanks to the Thames Valley Construction Training Association for fully funding this opportunity and for continuing to champion the development of apprentices within our industry.

We are incredibly proud to have supported Rob on this journey and are delighted to welcome him back. Your commitment and attitude were exceptional, and the perspective you’ve gained will stay with you for years to come. The impact you’ve made will not be forgotten by those you supported.

A few words from Rob following his trip:

“This experience has been truly unforgettable, and I’ve appreciated every moment of it. It’s been incredibly eye-opening to experience a completely different way of life from what I’m used to and I would like to go back again in the future"

Our team recently had the pleasure of attending the Careers Fair at Luckley House School.

It was fantastic to meet so many engaged students, chat about different career opportunities, and share a little insight into what working in our industry looks like. Supporting events like this and helping young people explore their future pathways is something we’re always proud to be part of.

Thank you to Luckley House School for inviting us along — it was a brilliant event and great to see so much enthusiasm from the students.
