Preou in Colchester
Our work in Colchester includes the hot water plant replacement at The St Aubyn Centre, an NHS mental health facility, delivered as main contractor.
The St Aubyn Centre is on Boxted Road in Mile End, north of the city centre. Our engineers travel from Billericay, about 27 miles away, and projects are managed by a named contracts manager from first survey to handover.
The buildings we work on in Colchester are mostly NHS and mental health facilities, schools, university buildings and barracks-era public estate. They are occupied buildings, so the works are planned in detail before we start on site: shutdowns agreed in advance, heavy work programmed into holidays or quiet periods, and temporary plant where heating or hot water has to stay on.
