Leisure contractor Medlock FRB has secured construction and fit-out projects worth £1.25m at holiday destinations in northern England as it expands its presence in the sector. Medlock has begun a contract to extend and refurbish a restaurant and bar at the Langdale Hotel & Spa near Ambleside in the Lake District. Due to be completed by the end of February, the works include a two-storey extension and a new kitchen, along with the fit-out of a bar, a wine room and a pizza oven servery with furniture built at Medlock’s joinery workshop. The firm is also carrying out mechanical and electrical improvements, including installing a new lighting system. Meanwhile, Medlock has also begun a refurbishment of the Mash and Barrel bar and restaurant at Reighton Sands, a holiday park near Filey on the North Yorkshire coast. External works include creating a new sun terrace, a smoking shelter and a stage area. Internally, Medlock is upgrading the décor, floor and wall tiling, and its joinery workshop is supplying bespoke fixed seating and feature screens. The project is due to be completed this month ready for the reopening of the Haven Holidays park in March. It is Medlock’s second contract with Haven Holidays owner Bourne Leisure, following a previous extension and fit-out of the Mash and Barrel at the Craig Tara holiday park in Ayrshire. The Langdale Hotel & Spa and Reighton Sands schemes also follow projects at holiday home destinations owned by Park Leisure – Chantry Retreat in the Yorkshire Dales and Plas Coch on Anglesey. Medlock managing director Andy Dunster said: “We are delighted to be working with Bourne Leisure again and to be appointed by the owners of the Langdale Estate to carry out work at one of the finest hotels in the Lake District. “These contracts build on our experience in the holiday market, where we have an excellent track record for quality and speed and a clear understanding of our clients’ needs. “Operators are continuing to invest heavily in their sites as the trend for people to take holidays and short breaks in the UK continues, and these contracts demonstrate our ability to successfully combine new-build and refurbishment works at locations throughout the UK.”
Whether it is a commercial, industrial or residential building, the importance of getting lifts serviced should never be disregarded. In commercial and business properties, lifts are meant for visitors, clients and potential clients. Imagine the impression it would create if the lifts break down or work intermittently? They may associate the poor service of the lift with the overall service of your commercial or business establishment. In an industrial setting, such as a warehouse where large lifts are used to transport goods from one point to another, a broken lift can result in serious injuries or even lead to fatalities. This could result in claims and high medical expenses, something that businesses are looking to avoid. It also is important to note that, when faults and problems are neglected, they can quickly worsen. As a result, repairs will cost more. It is best to address even the smallest lift issues immediately to prevent costly repairs later on, or avoid accidents and fatalities. Regular Lift Servicing When lifts are serviced regularly, minor faults and problems can be addressed before they cause more serious problems. This ensures that the lift works seamlessly and reduces breakdowns. Lift service is an investment and not an expense as it can help with the transportation of both people and materials, will prevent large repair costs, and ensure that no accidents or deaths occur due to lift accidents. Making the Right Choice The company handyman is not the person to call upon for lift repairs and service. This requires specialised knowledge and skill and only a professional, who has experience and knowledge of lift repairs and services, will be able to do it correctly A handyman will not necessarily have the knowledge or skill to understand the sophisticated parts and systems of a lift, which could cause more harm than good. If cost is a factor, then getting the services of a qualified technician will offset this cost in the long run. It is important to get an experienced company that specialises in servicing and repairing lifts, and does not believe in cutting corners when making repairs or completing servicing. Calling on the services of experts, such as RJ Lift Services, will ensure the lift works seamlessly for years to come.
