Project Complete: Leisure Centre Refurbishment & Facilities Upgrade at Totton

Location: Totton Leisure Centre

Client: New Forest District Council

Value: £160,000

Duration: Multi-phase, completed in an active public environment

We're pleased to announce the successful completion of a strategic refurbishment project at Totton Leisure Centre, delivered in partnership with New Forest District Council. This essential upgrade enhances both the fitness facilities and operational infrastructure, ensuring the site remains a modern and functional hub for the local community.

Project Overview

This £160,000 project was delivered across three carefully coordinated phases, each designed to maximise space efficiency and service quality within a live public setting. Works were undertaken while the leisure centre remained fully operational — requiring close collaboration with site management and phased scheduling to ensure minimal disruption to daily users.

What We Delivered

Expanded Free-Weights Area

We reconfigured underutilised space by removing the original steam and sauna cabins to extend the gym’s free-weights zone. This involved:

• Demolition of internal walls

• Installation of stud partitions

• Full redecoration and flooring works

• Mechanical and electrical adjustments to support the new layout

New Poolside Steam & Sauna Facilities

A fresh, purpose-built wellness zone was constructed poolside to house the new steam and sauna cabins. The works included:

• Design and build of bespoke cabin enclosures

• Installation and commissioning of steam and sauna equipment

• Tiling, lighting, and ventilation for optimal comfort and safety

New Gym Office & Sports Hall Storage

To support both staff and operations, we delivered:

• A new office space for gym personnel

• Dedicated storage area for the sports hall

• All internal finishes, M&E services, and access enhancements

Working in a Live Environment

Undertaking major refurbishment in an active leisure complex required a highly coordinated approach. Our team worked closely with the client and centre management to phase the works, maintain safe segregation between construction and public areas, and ensure business continuity throughout.

From demolition to the final finishes, each task was completed with health, safety, and operational flow at the forefront.

Outcome

This project reflects our commitment to delivering smart, community-focused solutions within challenging, real-world conditions. The new and improved facilities now better serve gym users, sports teams, and wellness visitors alike — supporting both health and leisure activities in Totton.

We extend our thanks to New Forest District Council and Totton Leisure Centre for their collaboration and support throughout this project.
