Weatherite Building Services (WBS) has carried out a complete refurbishment of the kitchen at Hawksworth Wood Primary School in Leeds.

WBS managed the entire project including the installation of new kitchen ventilation equipment, electrical rewiring, upgrading gas services and replacing the ceiling and flooring. The contract was awarded by the architectural design services department of Leeds County Council and will deliver savings in both energy usage and costs.

Central to the upgrade was the installation of a highly energy efficient kitchen ventilation system. To further improve the working environment and further reduce energy usage, WBS also provided a tempered air supply system to the kitchen.

The project included a complete electrical re-wire of the kitchen area and an upgrade of the gas system to meet the latest EU regulations. In addition, WBS replaced the leaking ceiling, resurfaced the walls and fitted a new vinyl floor. All the work was carried out in three separate phases during the school summer break and October half term holidays to avoid disruption to everyday school life.

Martin Thomas, Sales Director of WBS, said. “Although this is the first project we have carried out for Leeds City Council, our successful track record with local authorities throughout the UK meant the client was happy to let us take total responsibility for the work. Our ability to act as principal contractor enables us to keep control of schedules, quality and costs for any building services project, whatever its size.”

WBS has over 39 years experience in all aspects of building service including heating, ventilation, air conditioning, commercial kitchen ventilation/extraction, data centre/IT cooling, boiler house refurbishment/replacement and all aspects of M & E services. WBS offers its customers a complete building services solution-from one single source including total project management and full design, installation and commissioning activities.

WBS is part of the £40m Weatherite Group, one of the UK’s leading HVAC and Building Services organisations.
