Merton Civic Centre
14th February 2017

Buckinghamshire-based HAZLEMERE has completed the £2.5m renovation of Merton Civic Centre for the London Borough.

The sixties building originally served as private offices, with a supermarket on the ground floor. In the 1980s, it was acquired by Merton Borough Council but by 2016, it was in need of a face-lift.

Working as principal contractor, Hazlemere Commercial replaced and recycled over 2,000 of the original steel-framed single-glazed windows that were deemed “unfit for purpose”. In their place, the company installed Sapa Dualframe top-swing reversible windows across the entirety of the Civic Centre’s 14-storey tower building, as well as its other two-storey wings.

“This wasn’t just a very major project for us, but one of the most rewarding jobs we’ve done in recent years,” said Hazlemere Sales Director Tony Beale. “When we were first called in, the building was in a bad way. It had massive potential - but at the time it had been completely encased in over 400 tonnes of scaffolding after all 2,000 of its existing 50-year-old windows had been ruled unfit for purpose. Now, it’s been transformed – the scaffolding has come down, and Merton Borough Council have windows fit for the twenty-first century.”
