An award-winning principal contractor has completed the initial phases of the transformation of the derelict Greenfield House in Alloa. Hamilton-based firm Procast Group has begun restoring the historic, long-vacant manor house in Clackmannanshire, completing the £1m, 13-month council contract on time and on budget.
Working with Clackmannanshire Council, Procast has delivered phases one and two to make the well-known building, located within Greenfield Park, wind and watertight. This work included repairs to the roof, glazing and gutters, marking the first step in bringing the building back to its former condition.
Additional works included addressing damp and dry rot, plaster repairs, traditional joinery, structural stonework, slating and leadwork, brickwork and lintels, as well as some decorative finishes.
The striking property, which has stood empty for eight years, has yet to have its final use determined by the council.
Procast Group, which employs more than 130 staff, is a market leader in retrofit projects and innovative multi-trade construction work across Scotland and the North of England.
Derek Innes, owner and Managing Director of Procast Group, said: “We are delighted to have completed this initial phase of work on this fantastic heritage building, which has stood in the centre of Alloa for more than 130 years.
“Our hope is to be part of the journey to restoring this stunning manor house to its former glory and, by completing phase one, we believe we have taken a significant step towards achieving that.
“We hope to continue with the project once a future use is agreed, helping to restore this cultural landmark and ensure it remains a prominent feature of the town for many years to come.”
