PROJECT: WEIGHING ROOM REFURBISHMENT

Project Value: £450,000

We successfully delivered a targeted refurbishment project at the historic Doncaster Racecourse, focused on improving the Jockeys’ Weighing Room - a critical facility used by all race day participants.

This refurbishment was part of a broader initiative to enhance the operational standards and comfort levels at the venue. The racecourse required a practical, high-quality solution that respected the traditional setting while upgrading the environment for both jockeys and support staff.

Our work directly addressed these needs, providing a more functional, comfortable, and professional space that supports athlete preparation and post-race recovery, while also meeting the logistical demands of race day operations.

PROJECT SCOPE

The refurbishment scope was designed to improve both form and function of the weighing room the . Our works included:
  • Full strip-out of existing fixtures and finishes
  • Installation of new, hard-wearing flooring and wall finishes for all high traffic areas
  • Refurbishment of custom joinery and jockey storage units
  • Electrical upgrades to improve lighting and usability
  • Repainting and redecoration for a fresh, modern feel
  • Compliance with industry health, safety and racing authority standards
The project was delivered within a tight timeframe, scheduled carefully to ensure no disruption to active race days or the wider event calendar.
