Marks and Spencer, Liverpool

A major refurbishment of a landmark building in Liverpool – the ultimate live environment!

Wates has been working to deliver exceptional results for a new store right in the heart of Liverpool:

A complex refurbishment of a collection of spaces: Church Street, Compton is a landmark building in Liverpool city centre, with an imposing stone façade, which for many years was run as a hotel. The M&S store consists of a front section, the old Compton House and a larger rear section built in the 1970s. The store is also claiming additional footage from three adjacent shops and empty first floor of the building.

  • Work was carried out 24 hours a day, with the store trading as usual
  • Close collaborative relationship with store management to agree phased areas to minimise disruption while allowing work to progress in a logical and cost-effective manner
  • A specialist asbestos manager was dedicated to managing the asbestos removal contractor and to ensure the works comply with M&S and HSE requirements
  • Structural works to all floors were required to form new stair wells, infill old stairs, strengthen/replace floors and knock through between store and adjacent units to increase sales footage
  • This was a complex project carried out in a live trading environment within a listed building

Project Value: £14m

Size: 104,000 sq ft

Categories: live environments, refurbishment, cut and carve, health and safety, north east
