Kirby Street

Quinn London was appointed to undertake extensive external façade remediation and internal refurbishment works at Kirby Street, an existing student accommodation building.

The project focused on enhancing fire safety, improving building performance and upgrading the internal facilities to provide a safer, more comfortable living environment for residents. The scope of works included the removal and replacement of existing EPS render and cladding systems, alongside the installation of new cavity barriers and fire-stopping measures to improve the building’s fire safety performance and compliance with current regulations. Internally, works involved significant mechanical and electrical upgrades, including improvements to fire detection and smoke ventilation systems, alongside lift safety enhancements. Further refurbishment works included shower room upgrades, replacement furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E), new internal finishes and extensive redecoration throughout the building.
