FMC Completes Refurbishment Project in Hackney Wick

FMC has proudly completed a significant painting and decorating project encompassing four refurbished industrial units for the principal contractor Now Construction, located in the vibrant area of Hackney Wick, London. This project demonstrates FMC’s commitment to excellence and its ability to navigate the challenges presented by such large-scale refurbishments.

 

Project Overview

The refurbishment encompassed several complex tasks, including the painting of high-level steels, walls, internal offices, mezzanine stairs, and handrails. Additionally, FMC’s skilled team undertook the spraying of all existing metal cladding, ensuring a uniform and aesthetically pleasing finish across the units. This multi-faceted project required both precision and attention to detail.

 

Techniques Employed

The high-level steels and walls were finished using a spray application, which allowed for thorough coverage and a smooth, even surface. In contrast, all woodwork—including skirtings, doors, frames, and architraves—were brushed providing a distinct, high-quality finish.

 

Challenges Overcome

Like any project, the refurbishment faced its share of challenges. One of the primary hurdles was the limited access to high-level areas, the team implemented specialised access equipment and stringent safety protocols to navigate these hurdles effectively.

Another challenge involved coordinating the painting schedule with the construction timeline set by Now Construction. Timely completion was crucial to avoid delaying subsequent construction phases. FMC demonstrated exceptional communication and flexibility, adjusting their workflow to meet deadlines without compromising quality.

 

Project Successes

Despite the challenges, the project stands as a testament to the capabilities of FMC, culminating in a successful completion that exceeded the initial expectations. The collaboration with Now Construction proved fruitful. The finished units are not only visually appealing but also enhance the functionality of the industrial space.

The positive feedback received from stakeholders and the main contractor reflects the high standard of work executed by FMC, reinforcing trust and paving the way for future collaborations. The superb results have not only revitalised the industrial units but also contributed to the ongoing regeneration of Hackney Wick, a thriving hub for creatives and businesses alike.

FMC’s recent painting and decorating project in Hackney Wick exemplifies the dedication, skill, and professionalism that define the company. By overcoming logistical challenges and fostering effective partnerships, FMC has reinforced its position as a trusted provider in the refurbishing industry.
