We are proud to have completed the stairs and balustrades package at Olympia London, one of the most significant redevelopments in the capital. The historic exhibition venue in West Kensington is being transformed into a new cultural and commercial destination, and our team has now handed over its part of the work.

A landmark London project

Olympia has hosted exhibitions and events since the 1880s. Its redevelopment brings new theatres, hotels, offices, restaurants and public spaces to the site alongside the famous Grand and National halls. In a building used by millions of visitors, stairs and balustrades have to meet the highest standards of safety and finish, and they have to sit comfortably next to heritage architecture.

What the work involved

Work of this kind depends on accurate site surveys, precise setting out and bespoke joinery made to fit first time. Our workshop in Walton Summit gives us control over quality and lead times before anything reaches site.

Proof we deliver beyond the North West

Most of our work is in Lancashire, Greater Manchester and Merseyside, but Olympia shows that our teams and processes travel. We bring the same site management, safety standards and attention to detail to national projects as we do to jobs close to home. We also deliver quality interiors and corporate reimaging programmes across the UK.

Thank you to everyone on site who helped deliver this package. See more of our completed projects or find out about our manufactured joinery service.
