The Vale

Quinn London was appointed to undertake extensive remediation and completion works at The Vale, a former World War II Spitfire factory converted into a mixed-use development comprising 39 residential apartments and three ground-floor commercial units.

The project involved the refurbishment and completion of the existing five-storey building, including its basement, with a focus on enhancing fire safety, upgrading building infrastructure and delivering high-quality residential and commercial spaces. The scope of works included the removal of hazardous materials, demolition and structural alterations, alongside blockwork, waterproofing, screeding and roof and terrace remediation. External works comprised cladding remediation, stone and brickwork repairs, window refurbishment and the installation of new external doors. Internally, works included the installation of ceilings, partitions, doors, floor finishes, carpentry and joinery, ceramic tiling and decorations. Significant mechanical and electrical upgrades were also undertaken, including drainage, lift installations, sprinkler systems and both active and passive fire protection measures to improve the building’s overall safety and compliance.

The project has transformed the former industrial building into a modern mixed-use development, combining residential accommodation and commercial space while retaining the site’s historic character and ensuring it meets contemporary building and fire safety standards.
