The same year we completed the plastering and dry lining of a 24 apartment development in Finchley, North London, for Montway Limited, and also commenced work on a 42 apartment development near Highbury, for Integra Developers Limited, of Dunstable. This again, was completed on time, and was a very successful project for the developers.
In early 2008 we were the plastering contractors on an exclusive new build on the very exclusive Courtenay Avenue, Hampstead. This new build 6 bed house was being constructed by Thameside Construction. This very highly specified building contained many modern features, such as stainless steel and glass, and also a huge elliptical staircase which dominated the entrance hall. Our plasterers had many difficult obstacles to overcome here, including the meeting of blockwork to steel, glass and concrete, and the plastering of the staircase string which had a central steel pillar which had to be equidistance to all points of the steps. Once again, Thameside delivered a fantastic product on time for its Client, and Hickey Limited was proud to have played its part.
In late 2008 and early 2009, Hickey Ltd was involved in the development of a new hospital mortuary at St Peters Hospital, Chertsey, for Costain Limited. Our remit here included the installation of the floor screeds, all partitioning and m/f ceilings, with a plastered finish, the installation of the tile and grid ceilings, the installation of the stainless steel faced clean room system, and the Monocouche render system to the external façade. This was our first project with Costain, and also our first in the health sector, and it went very well for all. The hygienic system to the mortuary rooms was installed by Komfort Systems from Birmingham, upon instruction from us, and under our supervision which worked very well. Our own plasterers applied the 3 types of Monocouche render to the externals, and this was a great success. On completion, all colours worked well together, and the finish achieved was excellent
Costain were delighted with our involvement on this project, and we are looking to be involved in more of their health sector works in the near future.
The Clarendon Arms Public House in Chandlers Cross, Herts was converted to an exclusive restaurant in late 2009. The finishes to this state of the art restaurant were to be second to none, and Hickey Limited didn’t disappoint. We were responsible for the installation of the floor screed, plastering of the new and existing walls to an immaculate finish, and to the new ceilings throughout. We used a lime mortar finish to the externals to blend in with the dated appearance of the building, and we installed a fully washable ceiling to the kitchen.
We have completed the plastering, dry lining and screeding works to a select development of 5 new executive homes in Tring, Hertfordshire, for Stratford Developments. These top of the range homes sold within weeks of their launch, and their success was due in part to the excellent quality of the interior finishes. we have subsequently worked with them on 2 other prestigious developments in Watford.
Careys PLC constructed a new ambulance and fire station in Hertfordshire, for Watford Borough Council, with 14 number 1 and 2 bed apartments above. We were successful in our tendering here, and again delivered our plastering, dry lining, suspended ceilings and floor screed packages on time, in budget, and to the high standards demanded by this very discerning contractor.
In 2011 and 20012 we were working with Careys on the Olympic Park in Stratford, East London. This highly demanding project was high pressure, as the end date was set in stone! Our contract value here went from an initial £10,000 to nearly £240,000 as the project expanded, showing our ability to adapt as the demands of a project change. We installed fireline walls and ceilings to a newly constructed Biomass electricity generator within a retained building, built new offices for the site management, and constructed welfare facilities’, including the walls, ceilings and raised floors.
