The Wates team and our sub-contractors would like to thank you for your continued patience whilst we have been on site at Field Head.

Our site will close for the Christmas period on Friday 21 December, and will re-open in the new year on Wednesday 2 January.

Can we also take this opportunity to wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

This week the weather has been a bit on the cold side making work outside unpleasant but we still managed to get our water services connected and remove our scaffold steps to the plots, replacing them with stone to provide easy access for the workers on site. Off site utility works are starting w/c 17^th December to lay the Gas Main and Electricity supply, the new kerb line has been marked out and the trench duct is ready for the service to be laid.

Scaffold steps removed and stone replaced, the site will look its more orderly self by the end of next week and all the service trenches can be backfilled.

We have 2 plots fully plastered and ready, our Joiners are in fixing skirting and architrave, the M&E contractor only has to pipe in the gas service to the plots, then the Dry-liners can close-up the internal ceilings ready for plastering and mist coating.

This week saw the Considerate Constructor’s Assessor visit to give our site a rating in all aspects of our activities on site and our interaction with the wider community. The site scored a ‘very good site’ rating with areas where subtle changes can be made to improve our score and how as a site we can prove to be a more considerate constructor, something Wates Group Ltd are committed to.

Externals 

Our Groundworks contractor has installed the main services to the plots and the off site works have started with BT placing a new duct across the road, Electric and Gas due to start w/c 17^th December. Our scaffold is fully down revealing the building in all its glory, the render panels are to a nice crisp finish.

Internals

Our First Plot is being plastered with only 1 plot left for our M&E contractor to deliver. The Dry-liners are closing up the internal walls ready for plastering and Mist Coating.
