Upgrading Building Services Within a Historic Property
Delivering modern M&E infrastructure within an established Victorian building required the integration of new building services within the existing property.
The programme combined substantial electrical upgrades with improvements to the building’s mechanical systems, including the integration of air-source heat pump technology alongside new boiler plant.
The completed works demonstrate RIGBY’s experience in delivering complex mechanical and electrical refurbishment projects within historic and existing buildings, bringing modern building services into established properties.
