Development Timeline for the new Sussex Physio Pilates premises
August 2015
We take a look around an empty commercial premises in South Street, Tarring.
We take measurements and work out what would go where...
We're excited at it's potential, so put we put in a 'Change of Use' application with the council...
Mid November 2015
The 'Change of Use' is granted.
We finally take the keys to the premises and meet with our builder, John.
Work gets started the next day... Go John!
End November 2015
Stud walls are up, the plasterboard is in place.
It is starting to take shape and we can now see how it will look.
Early December 2015
Our 'Grand designs' hiccup moment...
We ask John the builder 'Can we knock through to create a door please?'
'Sure' he says. Then he calls us a couple of hours later 'It could take a little longer than expected. It's a tiled double bricked wall behind the plasterboard, oh and it will need a concrete lintel.'
Mid December 2015
The kitchen goes in, the internal doors and windows get hung, and the first coat of paint gets rolled...
2 Weeks to Christmas 2015
The kitchen get the final touches, the last coats of paint go on and the carpet fitters are in.
16th December 2015
Reception and Clinic Room 1 are complete and welcomes its first clients before Christmas!
We're beaming as the fascia signage goes up.
Between Christmas & New Year 2015
The last of the flooring is laid in the Studio & Clinic Room 2... almost there now!
January 2016
We opened our doors at the start of January with everything ready.
All the building work completed - Fabulous job, Thank you John & Des - Marlborough Carpentry Contractors
The internal and external window designs all finished - Thanks you Alan - Peter Signs
Massive thanks also to:
Marshall's Carpets in Worthing (Carpets & Vinyl Flooring)
Village Interiors in Ferring (Kitchen)
Friends and family for all your support; Nick for your excellent painting skills, Joy for your patience with the Wallpapering and Mark & Tony for your muscles during the moves of the heavy couches and other equipment.
It has been a bonkers journey, with some seriously late nights placing orders, deciding colours/ materials, long days painting, laying floors and building so much furniture. It's been hard work, but what an achievement!
Finally, but by no means least... huge thank you goes to our fantastic and loyal clients who have supported us throughout. Without you, none of this would be possible.
