External Works are progressing well here at Sandy Mount. Due to the lack of space on site the site management have had to meticulously create a sequenced programme which would allow the ground workers to work from the rear of the site to the front. The team here at Sandy Mount are confident that the external works will continue without hindrance and be complete in line with the programme.

The Heat Is On...

This week saw some really good news here at Sandy Mount. The plumbing contractors have been working effortlessly to get the heating on so final decorations can continue. Most of the trades who work inside now leave their jumpers at home as it is so warm inside the building.

The team at Sandy Mount would like to wish everyone a happy new year and we hope that everyone enjoyed their Christmas break. The clock has started ticking for completion of Sandymount so its all hand on deck. All of the plastering is complete on the second and first floors and is nearly complete on the ground. Decoration to both first and second floor is well underway in line with the programme and by the start of next week we should see external works recommence until complete.

The Wates team and our sub-contractors would like to thank you for your continued patience whilst we have been on site at Sandy Mount. Our site will close for the Christmas period on Tuesday 24 December, and will re-open in the New Year on Thursday 2 January. Can we also take this opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !

The scaffold strip is going well here at Sandy Mount and we are hoping that it will all be down in time for the Christmas holidays. Scaffold works had to stop temporarily last week as winds reached 90 mph meaning it was too dangerous to work. Now the bad weather has gone the scaffolders are progressing well.

Tiling works have started on the top floor flats inside Sandy Mount. Once the flats have been tiled in both the kitchens and the bathrooms the 2nd fix mechanical and electrical works can take place.

Last week the team at Sandy Mount took part in the annual Community Day which is held every year by Wates across the country. The Sandy Mount team this year helped out at the Linthwaite Ardron Church of England School where they helped out to restore the wildlife area to its former glory. Works involved cutting paths into the area and making habitat hotels. The team were also treated to a school dinner as a thank you for helping out.
