Case Study: Rockley House, Secure Inpatient Services NHS
- 22 August 2022
- Commercial Case Studies
We were proudly asked to carry out a commercial project for our NHS services in Prestwich, Manchester, for an aluminium window system offering security, functionality, and aesthetics to Rockley House.
Working with the NHS in Greater Manchester
Many of us hold the NHS close to our hearts, especially in such challenging times. Armitage Construction approached us to work with their NHS project at Rockley House due to it being a big part of a significant refurbishment of a derelict property for them.
We injected life back into the building by offering a whole new frontage with competitive pricing. Having worked with Armitage Construction on this NHS building before, we had a previous relationship by installing doors and windows over several projects.
As an approved Armitage Construction installer, we have worked with them on numerous projects and were happy to help. Armitage Construction specialises in working within the Health sector, undertaking many large, specialised refurbishment schemes for the NHS.
Other collaborations we have worked on with Armitage Construction include:
Safety and security measures for NHS patients
Rockley House offers mental health care for patients who require extra support, and with this in mind, we at Droylsden Glass understand the importance of the safety and security of all those who use the NHS facilities. We installed an aluminium shop front in a PPC white finish with low aluminium thresholds to avoid trips and falls, an anti-finger trap door stile, and installed emergency exit panic bars to care for all patients. We also installed Eurocell White uPVC double glazed windows with ‘A-rated low E Laminate safety double glazed units to improve energy efficiency and maintain safety and security for the building, turning a dilapidated property into a fully functional care unit.
Collaborations with commercial construction partners
Droylsden Glass regularly collaborate with others to get the best possible results. We worked with Armitage Construction on this NHS project to convert the neglected Rockley House in Prestwich, Manchester, into a modern, safe, and secure special care unit.
We worked with Armitage to meet the high specifications needed by the Mental Health Foundation Trust to upgrade the building for all those who need such vital support.
