Following a major fire which destroyed the main core and roof of the hotel, DACO Contracts Ltd were appointed Main Contractor to reinstate the structure, bringing back the former Grade 2 excellence. Following competitive tendering we were then appointed Main Contractor for the fit out programme. All 140 bedrooms, along with corridors, restaurant, reception, bars, function rooms and kitchens were fully refitted including all mechanical, electrical and air-conditioning services. This 12 month, multi million pound investment has now put Thistle Cardiff hotel back to forefront of this capital city.

Village had set about re-branding their hotels with a more modern theme, Warrington being the first of its existing units to receive the new look with DACO Contracts Ltd the Main Contractor for all public areas (reception, bar and restaurant). The new concept whilst still being amended arrived on site to be fitted in record time. The restaurant and bar were closed during works but the heart of the hotel reception had to be decanted in phases to remain operational. The successful outcome lead to projects in both Bury and Newcastle.

This project saw the creation and formation of a new spa leisure complex within an existing stable block and courtyard.

This was carried out over a 6 week period replacing the main timber and glazing to the external whilst stripping out and fitting a new kitchen operation along with re-fitting the restaurant to the new scheme.

Having successfully tendered and been awarded the refurbishment of all bedroom corridors DACO Contracts put together a programme of works enabling all bedroom stock to be let whilst the project was being carried out. Phasing each area allowing handover early afternoon each day in a clean environment, thus keeping the hotels occupancy to a maximum. The close liaison built up between ourselves and Q Hotels enabled us to move forward on other projects.

The hotel was looking to gain better use of areas to enable their meeting room operation to become a more refined facility. We set about removing and repositioning a function bar and cellar into a semi-redundant area allowing the existing bar cellar to be structurally altered and converted into a conference cafe / breakout area. This 4 week project was programmed around the hotels operation to ensure minimum disruption.

The Hotels Director of Group Developments awarded DACO Contracts the refurbishment of a wing of their bedroom stock, carried out over a 6 week period in two phases. Tight lead ins were required along with a short programme period to allow minimum disruption maximum return on the project. The bedrooms were successfully handed over on time and within budget and we look forward to strengthening our relationship with another premier hotel chain.

This project included the up-grade and refurbishment of meeting rooms and breakout area, whilst running alongside the refurbishment of 25No executive suite bedrooms and bathrooms.
