This Council comprises of a portfolio of 35 public buildings, including schools and public buildings. Many buildings across Cumbria, including those maintained by South Lakeland District Council, are subject to stringent regulations due to their age and aesthetic, meaning that all works have to be consistent with all regulations.
As South Lakeland District Council (SLDC)’s incumbent contractor for servicing and maintenance of their assets, DFP were asked to survey and then quote for works involving a boiler replacement at Coronation Hall, part of SLDC’s impressive portfolio of sites. Coronation Hall is a 636-seat theatre in Ulverston, built in the 20th Century and completed in WWI meaning it is one of South Cumbria's most historic buildings.

The works were commissioned and signed off by DFP, to the satisfaction of SLDC. By entrusting DFP Services Ltd with the installation, their day-to-day service was completely undisturbed and their plant room fully refurbished to include a more energy-efficient heating solution.
