Residents and staff at Greenfield, a Retirement Living scheme in Hull, are celebrating the completion of a significant refurbishment project, just in time for the festive season.
The £900,000 refurbishment was undertaken by Esh Construction, commissioned by registered social housing provider Riverside. This project is part of Riverside's broader initiative to upgrade Retirement Living accommodations nationwide.
Key improvements included extensive upgrades to the fire alarm system, lighting, and the replacement of all communal fire doors and flat entrance doors. The exterior grounds also saw enhancements, with upgraded fencing, improved footpaths, and a reconfigured, resurfaced car park.
Inside Greenfield, the refurbishment focused on modernising communal spaces with new mechanical and electrical (M&E) systems, full redecoration, and the installation of new flooring. The guest room, laundry room, and communal kitchen underwent partial refurbishments. A new conservatory was added, and an internal space was created for residents' scooters, eliminating the need for them to access their mobility devices through an external garage.
Simon Scott, Construction Manager at Esh Construction, said: "Carrying out works like these within an occupied building can naturally cause some disruption, and we are thankful to the residents and staff at Greenfield for their patience and cooperation during this time. Julie Aryiku went above and beyond to assist the team, and we developed a key relationship with her to facilitate the needs of the project.
"We are proud to collaborate with Riverside to enhance and secure the future of vital social housing developments."
