Pirton Pavilion Takes Shape | Site Visit with MP Alistair Strathern
Construction continues to progress steadily at our Pirton Pavilion site — an important community project that will provide a new home for local sport, events, and social activity in Pirton and the surrounding area.
In August 2025, we were pleased to welcome Alistair Strathern MP for a walk-through of the site, offering the opportunity to see first-hand how the new pavilion is taking shape. Joined by members of the Pirton Sports and Social Club and other local stakeholders, Mr. Strathern explored the developing structure and learned more about the community benefits the project will bring once complete.
The visit came as we reached a key stage of the build:
✅ Structural timber works now in place
✅ Preparation for the final roof coverings is well underway
✅ Specialist roofing contractor Eight6 Roofing Services scheduled to commence their phase imminently
This new pavilion will offer modern, accessible facilities and a flexible internal layout to accommodate a wide range of local activities — from grassroots sports and youth events to village celebrations and club meetings.
Parrott Construction is proud to play a role in delivering a space that will serve as a vital hub for community life in Pirton, and we look forward to handing over a finished building that reflects both the village’s ambitions and our own high standards of quality and workmanship.
Project Handover: Stamford Road, Kettering
We’re proud to announce the successful completion and handover of the Stamford Road housing development in Kettering to our client, North Northamptonshire Council.
This project involved the demolition of a former Methodist church to make way for eight high-quality social housing dwellings, including a thoughtful mix of bungalows and family houses. The development helps address the growing demand for affordable housing in the area, contributing to a stronger and more inclusive local community.
From initial groundworks to final finishing touches, our team collaborated closely with architects, engineers, and stakeholders to ensure the build met the highest standards of quality, safety, and sustainability. Each home has been designed with comfort and practicality in mind, delivering energy-efficient living spaces that support long-term wellbeing.
We’re delighted with the results and confident these new homes will serve residents for years to come — offering not just housing, but a sense of community and pride.
Eldon Avenue, Borehamwood – New Build Project
Our project at Eldon Avenue was successfully completed and handed over to our client Hertsmere Developments early January 2025.
The project involved the demolition of two blocks of unused lock-up garages and the remediation of the site prior to commencement. Specialist foundations had to be constructed due to the trees and the general nature of the ground conditions.
The site is very restrictive and parking is at a premium, however, we still managed to find room to accommodate nine car parking spaces, cycle parking, car charging and an enclosed bin area!
All of the apartments are equipped with balconies and are complemented with top-quality finishes throughout the development. The external facades feature a combination of facing brickwork, render, cladding panels and tall modern windows, which flood the apartment with natural light.
This £2.6 million design and build project, which has produced 11 high-quality apartments, is a testament to the quality that Parrott Construction is renowned for.
Handover – Cannock Road, Corby
Conversion of the former gym in Corby
On 24th July 2024, we were delighted to hand over to our client, North Northamptonshire Council, our latest conversion located In Corby.
We were pleased to have been able to step in to take over the works after the previous contractor ceased trading, with the building partly demolished.
We have converted the building, which was previously Corby Town FC Supporters Club and latterly a gym, into five much-needed single-storey adapted homes, including two that are fully wheelchair accessible.
All of the homes are now very energy efficient and have private parking and car charging facilities.
To the rear of the homes, each one has an outdoor space with a patio and grassed area. The elevations have been significantly improved with the introduction of render and cladding. The whole project from commencement to completion took 40 weeks.
Our project team consisted of a combination of our own directly employed skilled tradesmen, together with our approved and trusted subcontractors, and the final project is a credit to them all.
Handover – Clarendon Gardens
Parrott Construction has successfully completed a project that transformed a neglected site into a vibrant residential community in Borehamwood. On the grounds of a former day care centre, what was once a contaminated and derelict space now stands as a testament to innovative urban development—15 high-quality, affordable flats tailored for families. Featuring modern amenities, including balconies and private gardens, these new homes offer both comfort and practicality.
Clarendon Gardens provides 15 high-quality, new apartments in two separate blocks of two and three storeys. All associated external works were completed by the Company, including drainage and an improved, well-lit pedestrian path through the site. The scheme has a gross internal area of 13,727 sq ft.
Completed within 14 months and handed over to Hertsmere Developments in March 2024, this £3.3 million project is a shining example of what thoughtful, efficient construction can achieve.
