Leisure Centre Changing Room Refurbishment in Didcot

Universal Contracting Ltd was appointed to undertake the refurbishment and upgrade of the dry-side changing facilities at a leisure centre in Didcot. The project encompassed the male, female, and accessible changing rooms, together with associated toilet and shower facilities.

The works involved the complete strip-out and disposal of existing fixtures, fittings, wall tiling, and floor finishes. To improve the layout and functionality of the facilities, two existing blockwork walls were removed to create larger, open-plan shower and toilet areas within both the male and female changing rooms. Structural steel supports were installed to accommodate these alterations.

As part of the refurbishment, underground drainage modifications were carried out to facilitate the installation of new shower systems. New suspended ceilings and energy-efficient PIR-controlled LED lighting were installed throughout, followed by high-quality wall and floor tiling to provide a durable and modern finish.

The project also included the installation of new toilet cubicles, sanitaryware, and contemporary LED backlit mirrors, enhancing both the functionality and appearance of the facilities. The accessible toilet was fully refurbished and upgraded with a new Doc M compliant package, ensuring compliance with current accessibility standards.

The project was successfully completed within budget and in accordance with the client's requirements, delivering modern, attractive, and highly functional changing facilities.
