Securing the future of a busy secondary school through essential infrastructure investment
Client: Stockport Council
Conlon Construction delivered a major programme of refurbishment and building improvement works at Stockport School, enhancing the condition, safety and performance of key facilities across the campus.
Working on behalf of Stockport Council, the project focused on upgrading critical building infrastructure, ensuring the school has the reliable, resilient facilities needed to support teaching and learning for years to come.
The Challenge
The school required a significant programme of repair and replacement works to address ageing building fabric and essential infrastructure systems. The challenge was to modernise critical elements of the estate while maintaining a safe and operational environment for pupils, staff and visitors.
The programme needed to improve building performance, strengthen security and enhance life-safety systems, ensuring the school remained fit for purpose for the long term.
Our Solution
Conlon delivered a comprehensive refurbishment and upgrade programme, including:
- Full strip and replacement of roof coverings across the main and annex buildings
- Roof performance improvements and associated remedial works
- Replacement of the lightning protection system
- Brickwork repairs and repointing works
- Structural repairs throughout the site
- Complete electrical rewiring programme
- New fire alarm system installation
- CCTV system upgrades
- Replacement intruder detection systems
- New external lighting across the campus
The works were carefully coordinated to maximise efficiency while ensuring the safety and continuity of the school environment.
The Outcome
The completed project has significantly improved the condition, safety and operational resilience of the school estate, addressing critical infrastructure requirements through a single coordinated programme of works.
By upgrading essential systems and restoring key elements of the building fabric, the development has helped future-proof the campus, creating a more secure, reliable and sustainable environment for pupils and staff.
