Jonesco, Preston

Jonesco, a well-established manufacturer in Preston renowned for producing high quality moulded plastic products, sought to restore their outdated facilities to enhance comfort and improve accessibility.

Project Scope

The client required a comprehensive refurbishment of their washrooms, changing rooms, and shower areas to improve the functionality, safety and accessibility of the facilities. The scope of the work included a variety of key areas that addressed not only the aesthetic and operational needs of the spaces but also regulatory compliance, including DDA accessibility requirements and fire safety regulations.

Key Features

  • Decoration & Wall Cladding: Refreshing the new wall cladding and decoration to create a durable, hygienic, and easy-to-clean surfaces were selected to ensure a low maintenance finish suitable for high-traffic environments.
  • Electrical & Lighting Systems: Energy efficient lighting solutions were installed to create inviting spaces. Electrical systems were upgraded to handle modern fixtures and ensure compliance with safety standards.
  • Flooring & Ceiling: Slip-resistant flooring was chosen for safety in both the washroom and shower areas, crucial to preventing accidents in wet conditions. The ceiling was fitted with moisture-resistant materials, ensuring durability and longevity.
  • Cubicles, IPS, and Vanity Units: Modern cubicles were installed for both standard and accessible toilet spaces. The IPS helped conceal pipes and allowed for easier cleaning and maintenance. Updated vanity units provided a modern look and practical functionality.
  • Sanitaryware and Accessories: High-quality sanitaryware, including washbasins, toilets, and urinals were fitted. These were paired with durable and hygienic accessories like hand dryers, soap dispensers, and mirrors, ensuring the facilities were functional and elegant.
  • Extraction System: Proper ventilation is essential in washroom and shower areas to prevent damp and maintain air quality. An efficient extraction system was installed to regulate humidity and improve air circulation, allowing a comfortable environment for all users.
  • Fire Safety – Sprinkler System: To meet fire regulations, an advanced sprinkler system was installed throughout the washroom and changing area. This ensured compliance with fire safety codes while providing safe environments for Jonesco’s staff.
  • DDA Compliance: A key part of the project was ensuring that the new facilities met DDA requirements. Accessible cubicles, wider doors, lower-level vanity units, grab rails, and other fixtures were installed to ensure ease of use for staff with disabilities. The space was designed to accommodate both current accessibility needs and future changes in regulations.
 

The refurbishment was successfully completed on time, delivering Jonesco a set of modern, fully accessible, and regulation-compliant facilities. The upgraded spaces significantly improved the staff’s overall workplace experience, while ensuring the rooms met all operational and safety requirement.
