Second Phase at Runcorn Industrial Estate Underway

Phase 2 will carry out significant external, internal and structural work with a view to being completed by May 2019

Details on the second phase of the refurbishment works programme at Astmoor Industrial Estate have been made public.

Following the recent completion of its Phase 1 works, we have now appointed Skyline Contractors to undertake Phase 2 of the programme, totalling £650,000 and is expected to complete by May 2019.

Phase 2 consists of significant external, internal and structural work including fitting external over-cladding, new roofing, and groundworks to create an open parking and loading area. It will see units 79-80 combined to create a total of 25,344 sq ft (2,354 sq m) manufacturing/warehouse space with planning for B1, B2 & B8 uses. To meet demand for smaller space, unit 81 will be split to create a 6,366 sq ft (591 sq m) and a 3,106 sq ft (288 sq m) unit.

Internally, the warehouse will now offer three-phase electric, with motion sensor LED lighting, electronically operated roller shutter doors and new painted concrete floors. Bespoke fit out is also available for end users.

This investment comes as Halton Borough Council is looking to transform the estate and increase connectivity with the Mersey Gateway, making Astmoor Industrial Estate on Brindley Road in Runcorn a strategic business location.

With architects BDP preparing a five-year Masterplan to guide the estate’s regeneration, we are working with the council to see where it can develop within this and is progressing initial concept designs.
