Former Ancoats Dispensary

The Grade II listed Dispensary opened in 1874, to provide healthcare for the local community. After over one hundred years of serving its community, the hospital closed its doors in 1989.

There were plans for redevelopment in the 2000s however, these fell through and demolition plans followed. This saw huge backlash and prompted the formation of The Ancoats Dispensary Trust.

The building was then transferred to the Council in 2018 and in 2021, alongside the developer, Great Places, plans were drawn for its redevelopment as 39 new affordable homes.

With the historical significance of the building, the Grade II listed facades have been retained and well as reconstruction of the tower and new-build works to the rear.

Client Reviews

Aura Technical Services Ltd

I just wanted to say a massive thanks to the whole WLG team for everything they have done on this project so far and specifically the work done today.

The proactive and ‘can do’ attitude of Ross and Dale is second to none. The level they have gone to today to get the MRI over the line is not something I have seen from a MEP company for a long time.

We are not out of the woods yet but today has been a huge milestone.

Well done team.

Managing Director

Queen Elizabeth School

West Lancashire Group were chosen to do the electrical, mechanical and passive network installation at Queen Elizabeth Studio School.

Right from the start, their Director, Chris, impressed with his positive attitude and constructive suggestions, whilst also having a keen eye on the detail. The work was carried out to a very high standard, to budget, and on time.

I would very much look forward to working with West Lancashire Group again.

As Commercial Director of a large regional Contractor, and more recently as a Local Authority Consultant, I have been responsible for a variety of construction projects and the procurement of numerous MEP packages.

I have formed a close working relationship with West Lancashire Group over many years, which is founded on shared values of integrity, collaboration and long term partnership. West Lancashire Group have worked alongside me on many schemes ranging from £1m to £30m and, despite the inevitable challenges presented on projects, they have delivered quality at every stage.

Working as a genuine part of the team West Lancashire Group in my experience, always adopt a ‘can do’ approach and apply their undoubted expertise as a supply chain partner during feasibility, pre-construction, delivery and aftercare with skill and commitment, whilst recognising the benefits that long term relationships can provide.

I would have no hesitation in recommending West Lancashire Group to any of their potential Clients

St Johns CE Primary School – Heaton Mersey (DfE)

West Lancashire Group have recently completed the mechanical and electrical aspects of the rebuild of our school, St. John’s C.E. Primary School, Heaton Mersey, Stockport (September 2019).

We are absolutely delighted with both the highly professional and supportive way the entire company engaged with the school and also the quality and standard of their work, which was excellent. ‘West Lancs’ staff, at all levels, made every effort to listen to the requirements of the school and made every effort to provide us with the very best solutions available.

They are clearly an organisation that prides itself in meeting the needs of their clients and taking pride in their work. I would certainly recommend the services they provide and the people who deliver them.
