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.
