We have completed our programme of joinery works for Co-op in Kilwinning. We built new walls and new ceilings to form a new room at the back of the retail area to form a OneBanks facility and an Amazon.com Locker collection point.
The initial phase of the work will be the external sheeting and cladding of the steel framed mansard roof. Then formation of the roof gutter troughs and dormer windows. When the building structure is wind and water tight, we will be undertaking the external feature joinery work and moving on to internal packages which will include doors, skirtings, facings, window sills and finishes.
Tony Lochran, Director, Ash Contracts, commented:
“We have an established track record for our work in the hospitality sector and this project follows on from work we have done with some of the leading hotels in Scotland, including The Old Course Hotel in St Andrews and Malmaison in Edinburgh.”

As one of Scotland’s leading commercial joinery specialists, Ash Contracts, on behalf of Sharkey, has completed several phases of work at the Old Course Hotel Golf Resort & Spa in St Andrews. The first phase was the replacement of the existing windows, which involved replacing all the internal window linings. We also installed bulkheads above all the beds and replaced the existing bedroom doors and corridor ceilings.
A separate phase included replacing the facade to the famous Road Hole restaurant in the middle of winter. The entire facade was removed, we relined the internal walls and bulkhead to match the existing bespoke finishing within the restaurant and bar.
We also played an integral part in the recent spa extension. We constructed the external SFS walls, internal partitions, ceilings and doors. The pool ceiling was created with a specialist Knauf acquapanel and this was also used to replace the steam room and spa ceilings.
