Seddon starts on £1.6m Wirral fire station refurb

Bromborough Community Fire Station will boast a new roof, more modern interior, and improved sustainability credentials thanks to a 30-week renovation project.

Seddon Property Services is the main contractor for the scheme, which will see new M&E systems installed in the Wirral fire station. The work includes removing the gas systems and boiler in place in the fire station and replacing them with more energy-efficient solutions.

The fire station will remain operational throughout the £1.6m work programme.

Seddon operations director Matthew Sargeson said; “Our team’s expertise in managing complex, live-site renovations will ensure Bromborough Fire Station continues to serve its community while we deliver these crucial upgrades.

“This project aligns perfectly with our commitment to supporting essential services and promoting sustainability in the built environment.”

The push to a more sustainable fire station is part of Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service’s wider decarbonisation strategy. Anthony Holland has been leading on the Bromborough refurb for the service as the group’s estates development manager.

Holland said: “The newly refurbished and modernised fire station will provide an improved working environment for firefighters and improved facilities for the community.”

The redesign of the fire station was drawn up by architect Owen Ellis, with SWH as the engineer. Davies Partnership led on M&E design. Rider Levett Bucknall is the project manager.

Seddon is no stranger to blue light retrofits, having renovated Staffordshire Police Station earlier this year.
