Costa Coffee refurbishments keep us busy in January
Date posted: February 6, 2019
It may have been a bit chilly in January, but our fit-out teams were kept busy and warm completing refurbishments for Costa Coffee estates.
The counter is all fitted out and ready to serve customers
In St. Neots in Cambridgeshire, we handed back the keys to the 80-cover store on the town’s High Street after a five day reimage, using the Level Three Designs. The short closure meant the store was back trading and satisfying customers wanting a cup of the nation’s favourite coffee and there was the least disruption to our client.
Meanwhile, in Kingston Upon Thames in London, we took on a much bigger job for Costa with the total refurbishment of the Costa Estate’s store on the third floor of the Bentall Shopping Centre.
The 64 cover store needed a complete refit, which meant stripping everything out from the old store right back to bare walls. The installation then required a full fit-out for electrics, plumbing and furniture & fittings, which we managed in line with our Turn-Key promise to clients.
With the store only closed for eight days, we once again had a very satisfied customer when it came to handover time.
Testimonials
"“The communication lines are always clear, and any issues are dealt with promptly with no surprises. Everything is up straight and detailed from the moment they receive the drawings from us to the timings provided, start dates and teams arriving onsite. We’ve had projects completed while the kitchen continues to operate to minimise operating downtime. They are always happy to work strategically with our timings and provide flexibility when required. They don’t mess around from pre-start meetings to talk throughs and works specifications. We talk through everything, and, at times, we have multiple locations and projects to deal with – their familiarity means they can identify any potential problems and address them with the architecture to help eliminate possible concerns and resolve any issues before work commences. Their work ethic and getting it done is why we continue to provide repeat business and have no desire to work with anyone else. Jephsons offer a one-stop-shop for SME Group Plc. I don’t need to go out to other contractors such as plumbers, electricians etc. Prices are always reasonable, and it benefits SME Group to have one point of contact.” Matt Hand, Business Development Manager, SME Group.
