Moriconium Quay is a private gated development of town houses and apartments surrounding a private marina located on the shore of Poole Harbour, offering 24-hour access for the boating enthusiast or simply the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful tranquil setting.
Our client, Winkle-Bottom Chartered Surveyors asked us to carry out external redecorations and associated repairs to two blocks at Moriconium Quay. Due to the waterfront location of the estate, we had to encapsulate the blocks and also applied approximately 100m of high build to certain areas on both blocks. Having the blocks fully encapsulated prevented any pollution to the marina, protecting the environment, members of the public and our workers from the weather elements.
To maximise the use of the erected scaffolding and provide value for money, we repointed roof gullies and any defective tiles, and due to pest problems at the site fitted pigeon deterrents. We were also asked to replace the rainwater goods with deepflow guttering. We applied anti-fungal wash to the walls prior to applying the masonry paints. All uPVC windows were also washed down with the re-mastic of cills.
All residents remained in-situ during the works, with members of the public also visiting the marina, and so it was imperative that we completed the works with total safety in mind and causing as little disruption as possible with clear health and safety and communication processes in place.
Regular site meetings were held with the client throughout the project to ensure a smooth and trouble-free contract, which was completed on time and to a high standard of finish, much to the delight of the client, resulting in Trident being further awarded Phases 6 & 7 of the works.
The project was the winning project of the ‘Residential’ category at the PDA Premier Trophy Awards 2023. The judge’s notes included: “This high-class marina and housing complex has been redecorated to a very high standard. Numerous repairs were required to the walls and masonry areas. The finished job had a seamless finish. A job well worth visiting – the judges were extremely impressed.”
