COSH After School Club – location Chorlton

Julie first contacted TF Jackson in June 2021 as she was losing the building where she held her after-school club at the End of March 2022. She visited us to have a look at the buildings and discuss her requirements, a large open plan area for the children to play in with a kitchenette for water and washing up as well as toilet facilities for adults and children was needed.

Introduction

A first quotation was sent the following day with an idea of a layout for a straight six-bay building measuring 20’ x 48’. Unfortunately, this layout didn’t work with the piece of ground she eventually found at Chorlton Sports & Social Club. This was a triangular piece of grass on the approach to their clubhouse, on the edge of the pitches.  After much discussion and a second visit to see us, the drawing was redesigned to take the shape of the space into account, and with the addition of a disabled-accessible toilet, Julie was happy to sign off. The building was kept mainly open plan with one internal column. A small kitchen area was installed in the corner near to the entrance into the infant and adult toilet area.

Groundworks

As this was a grassed area and Julie had no contact for groundworkers, we put her in touch with Jackpad who we have worked with successfully on several occasions. They supply and fit a system of adjustable foundation pads which are suitable for most ground conditions. 

Once the planning permission was granted Julie placed her order with us and Jackpad for installation as soon as possible.

We received the order on the 4th of April and started to assemble the building and gather the materials needed.

Jackpad

Jackpad attended site on Thursday 14th April to dig out the grass and install the foundations. 

We delivered the eight modules on Thursday 21st April. The installation took two days with the use of a lorry-mounted crane to unload each module and place on the prepared area.

The building has now got all the furniture & games installed and with the addition of some colourful wall decals, we think the overall effect is really good.

We wish Julie every success in continuing the work she is doing in her local community.

Client Feedback

“I made contact and spoke to a lovely lady Diane who was able to answer some of my questions. I told Diane what I wanted, and then Diane sent me the plans and quotes. I visited TF Jackson so I could view the buildings to make sure they were suitable for my needs, I met with Guy who advised me on how I could position the toilets and kitchen areas. From me placing the order to arrival on-site was 17 days, 2 days to install. I am so pleased with the building. It is perfect and looks fantastic with my furniture and toys in place.”
