PROJECT CASE STUDY

Leonardo Hotel, Nottingham

Fire Safety Remediation · Nottingham

PROJECT OVERVIEW

High-Rise Hotel Facade Remediation in Nottingham

Working within a fully operational high-rise hotel in Nottingham city centre, UKR Facades delivered a £650k fire-safety remediation project focused on improving the safety and compliance of the building’s external wall systems. The works involved the replacement of key facade components while hotel operations continued throughout.

Over an 18-week construction programme, composite cladding panels, spandrel panels and fire barriers were replaced, with the project reaching completion in July 2026. Delivery was carefully coordinated around full hotel occupancy and the access and logistical constraints of the busy city-centre location.

LIVE ENVIRONMENT DELIVERY

Working Around a Fully Occupied City-Centre Hotel

Leonardo Hotel remained at full occupancy throughout the remediation programme, requiring the works to be carefully coordinated around the day-to-day operation of the hotel. Programming, access and site activity all needed to account for guests, staff and the demands of a busy city-centre location.

Close liaison with hotel management, supported by careful logistical planning, helped coordinate the works safely and efficiently while minimising disruption to hotel operations and guests. The space-constrained setting added a further consideration, making effective planning and communication central to successful delivery of the 18-week programme.
