Shipton House

Ingleton Wood were appointed by Peabody Trust to act as CDM Coordinator in connection with the conversion of existing flats to form 18No new dementia support units and common facilities.

The works involved structural alterations of the existing flats to provide the desired accommodation layout. Each unit was fitted out with new electrical power and lighting, heating, fixtures and fittings.

Externally the previously exposed balconies which provide access to the units were enclosed with a system of patent glazing to give protection from the weather thereby improving the environment for occupiers.

The external common access areas were landscaped which resulted in an improvement of the environment.
