EAST LODGE COUNTRY HOUSE HOTEL
Client:
East Lodge Country House Hotel
Project:
Matlock, Derbyshire
Contract duration:
Various Bespoke Projects over recent years
Description of works:
The East Lodge Country House Hotel is a private hotel which caters for the more discerning individual looking for more than just a room for the night.
Murray and Willis have been actively involved in the total refurbishment of all the rooms. Due to the operational restraints, each phase was planned to suit the hotel, which in essence, meant refurbishing of 2 or 3 rooms/areas at a time, including reception and dining room. Coordination of subcontractors and suppliers was paramount to meet the program deadlines, while at the same time ensuring health and safety was not compromised.
The works involved structural alterations, new mechanical and electrical installations including new boilers, air conditioning and distribution boards.

Murray & Willis are the sole refurbishment contractor at East Lodge, due to their commitment and reliability in completing projects on time and in budget, even when working to the tightest deadlines. During the hotel's winter shutdown, Murray & Willis completed the entire refurbishment of the main reception area and 'The Wye' dining room, plus one of the bedrooms, from start to finish in only sixteen days.
East Lodge proprietor, David Hardman says:
"The commitment from the Murray and Willis team was phenomenal. The team was quite literally waiting in the car park for the last guest to check out after the Christmas/New Year break, and then it was all hands on deck. Despite meeting one or two unexpected challenges, the entire project was delivered exactly to programme, ready for a large party that was booked in on the day after hand-over. That's why we always use Murray & Willis for major refurbishment work, as they are a very professional team and a pleasure to have around the place. A trademark of their work is cleanliness and tidiness which is especially important to us with having guests invariably around. With Murray & Willis, I always feel like a valued client. Despite the fact that we must be a relatively small client within their portfolio, that feeling of being valued certainly comes across in all the dealings that we have with them."
