📍 Project Spotlight | Returning to Support The Dyers’ Almshouse Charity

We were pleased to return to site for The Dyers’ Almshouse Charity CIO, a valued repeat client we’ve previously supported both at this location and at their Blackheath, London property.

This latest project focused on improving parking provision and resolving drainage challenges to ensure the area remains safe, functional, and resilient for residents and visitors.

🛠️ Project scope:
• Two parking areas resurfaced, covering 215m²
• Excavation of existing shingle and contaminated sub-base
• Installation of new drainage including 300mm yard-style gullies and piped outlet
• Membrane installation and Type 1 sub-base reinforcement
• Hand-laid AC20 dense binder (50mm) and AC10 dense binder (30mm) surfacing
• Emergency drainage installation alongside the property
• Localised cut-out and resurfacing using AC6 dense binder

The result is a durable, well-drained parking area designed for long-term performance while maintaining a clean, practical finish for the community it serves.

We value long-term relationships with clients and are proud to continue supporting organisations that provide essential housing and care within their communities.

👉 If you’re planning upgrades to parking areas, access routes, or drainage infrastructure, we’d be happy to help.
