Progress Report - week commencing 11 July 2011

The stable block to the rear of the site has now been totally demolished and the demolition to the rear elevation of Thurston House is now well underway.

In order to ensure that the integrity of the structure of Thurston House is upheld a new concrete wall is being constructed within the basement which will become the substructure for the new rear wall.

The next few weeks will see the continued careful demolition of the rear elevation and the erection of scaffolding to Thurston House which will allow access to the roof which will be gradually removed and  replaced utilising as many of the existing tiles as is possible and replacing and missing broken tiles with a similar one.

Progress Report - week commencing 4 July 2011

This week has seen lots of progress on site.  The bungalow to the rear of Thurston House has now been demolished.

The roof has been removed from the  outbuilding to the rear of the site and the walls are starting to be taken down, however this process is taking longer due to the proximity to other structures.

The scaffolding is in place to the rear of Thurston House to allow the demolition of this to take place ensuring that the building is supported throughout the process.  The actual demolition of this rear elevation will start next week.

Please remember that if you would like any further information regarding the scheme or if you have any questions which are not on the question and answer page of this blog please ring Beverly Hill on 01733 295465. 

Progress Report - week commencing 27 June 2011

The demolition works are due to commence within the next 7 to 10 days - the initial set up for this demolition will take some time to incorporate all the exclusion areas.  These areas are required to ensure the safety of all staff working on site and the protection of visitors.


The stripping out of Thurston House is now well underway and the attached photographs show just how far this has progressed.  The items which have been removed are being sorted in readiness for the recycling selection process.

Progress Report - week commencing 13 June 2011

The soft stripping of Thurston House which involves removing the office interior, along with specific internal walls and doors, in order to facilitate the proposed remodelling works is well underway. Demolition of the rear extension of Thurston House will be undertaken shortly; taking care not to disturb the remaining building, with a new rear wall to be constructed to form the extents of the building. The brickwork will be in keeping with that of the existing building in order to maintain the character. In addition to these works, 80A Lincoln Road and the existing garage block at the rear of the site will be demolished to facilitate the construction of 9 houses. Following on from the demolition, works will commence to form the proposed site access road and site drainage.

Accent Nene have distributed an resident update during the past week to give vital information regarding the works on site to local residents.  Hard copies of this update are available from Accent Nene's reception.

Progress Report - week commencing 31 May 2011

This week has seen good progress on site.  The sign-boards have been errected and the site office and site facility units have been delivered.   This allows the demolition of the small bungalow to the rear of Thurston House to take place, this had previously been used to provide on-site facilities. 

The removal of all asbestos materials from Thurston House has been completed and most of the internal fixtures and fittings have been removed and are stacked awaiting collection for recycling (a licensed waste management company have been appointed to deal with this).

The technical approval for the Section 38 has been registered which will allow the construction of the road to take place prior to the start of construction.  This will help the contractor to minimise the amount of mud and dirt being carried out onto the main highway.

There are a number of photographs below showing how the site looks this week:

Progress Report - week commencing 22 May 2011

This blog is intended to give you a weekly update of the build programme for our new homes at Lincoln Road in Peterborough.  We will be including progress photographs along with a weekly report. 

Although you are unable to see much happening from the outside at the moment, the majority of work is happening within Thurston House itself.  This work includes clearing the property completely and stripping back skirtings, doors and any fixtures and fittings etc. 

The demolition works are due to start from the end of June/early July and we will be sending out information to all local residents prior to any of this work commencing.

The signboards are due to go up any time and viewing panels will be cut into the hoarding so that you will be able to see more of what is happening on site.

We are looking forward to working with the local community and if you have any issues regarding this new development then please feel free to contact us.
