Since 2005 Neilcott have been a preferred status contractor for the Trustees of Borough Market in the redevelopment and regeneration of the Market and associated buildings.

In its historic position opposite Southwark Cathedral, Borough Market is clearly in a Heritage area so there are strict limits on changing the design.

Working in close liaison with the Client and the Architect, Neilcott drew upon our experience of refurbishments and construction projects, value engineering the initial designs in order to meet the client’s budget.

Of particular note is Jubilee market which was stripped out and refurbished to capture its original glory. The project, valued at circa £800k, involved the dismantling of the existing cold store chillers, a mezzanine Floor was constructed in creating a new first floor level demise for future tenants,

New lighting was installed to the lower ground units. A new power supply cable was installed from the existing sub mains via the underground basement and existing ducting pits to feed the newly formed units and lift. The metal staircases were enclosed in 1 hour fire rated plaster board partitions. All common part areas were fully decorated and non-slip flooring was included in the toilet areas. Neilcott were well aware of the constraints of working within a lively market and have contributed to the improvement of Borough Market with a number of smaller projects, including re-configuring Middle Road, installing additional storage rooms and refurbishment of Booths Arch etc. All these projects involve working in and around operational areas and ensuring the on-going successful operation of the market.
