Transforming a key operational facility for Lancashire Constabulary

Client: Lancashire Constabulary

Conlon Construction delivered the extensive refurbishment of Skelmersdale Police Station, modernising a five-storey operational building to create a secure, efficient and future-ready policing environment.

The project transformed an ageing facility into a contemporary workplace that better supports operational policing, staff wellbeing and evolving service requirements.

The Challenge

The existing building required substantial refurbishment, including replacement of deteriorating external elements and a complete remodelling of the internal environment.

The project also needed to maintain operational continuity and deliver enhanced security measures appropriate for a modern policing facility.

Our Solution

Conlon delivered a comprehensive refurbishment programme, including:

• Removal of the existing deteriorated concrete façade
• Installation of a new over-cladding system
• Replacement of all external windows
• Full internal strip-out across five floors
• Complete remodelling of office and operational spaces
• New mechanical and electrical systems
• Building-wide data and communications infrastructure
• New 2.4m high security fencing
• Enhanced pedestrian and vehicle access controls
• Separate vehicle entry and exit arrangements

The works created a more secure, efficient and flexible environment capable of supporting modern policing operations.

The Outcome

The completed refurbishment has transformed 2,300m² of accommodation into a modern operational facility that meets the needs of Lancashire Constabulary both now and in the future.

Delivered within a live policing environment, the project demonstrates Conlon’s expertise in delivering complex, highly secure public-sector facilities where operational continuity, stakeholder management and quality are critical to success.
