Repairs on St Margaret’s Hall in Bradford on Avon scheduled to start
Work begins this month after last year’s flooding
Reinstatement work on St Margaret’s Hall in Bradford on Avon is due to begin this week, over a year since flooding caused significant damage.
The repairs are expected to take between 10 and 12 weeks to complete, with reopening anticipated in April. However, dates are subject to change.
What are the planned improvements?
The repairs will include replacing the flooring, brand-new toilets, fresh plasterboard, and redecoration in the main hall.
Plans to make the hall more resilient against flooding are also being undertaken. These will involve installing new flooring in previously carpeted areas, raising electrical sockets and wiring, repointing damaged or missing mortar, and adjustments in the kitchen and bar areas.
St Margaret’s Hall has been closed since the flooding, which left the building unusable, but the upcoming work will aim to ensure it can recover more efficiently from any future flood-related damage.
