Gala Bingo Hall, Hove
Full Demolition | Asbestos Removal
Background
Lancebox acted as the principal contractor for the Asbestos Removal and Demolition of the former Gala Bingo Hall.
The building was originally opened in 1933 as the Granada Theatre cinema. It survived through World War II and interestingly had an anti-aircraft gun installed on the roof that was never fired, in fear of the gun falling through the roof from the force of the shot.
The building was then repurposed as a Gala Bingo Hall in 1975. After nearly 30 years use as a bingo hall it finally closed doors in 2003, and never reopened.
After falling into disrepair the decision was made to demolish the building for redevelopment into a new GP Surgery and 38 residential units.
Scope Of Works
Asbestos removal, demolition of the structure, removal of the basement and concrete footings, processing suitable materials on site to a 6ft specification.
“Lancebox completed the Demolition works to the Gala Bingo Hall for our client, Affinity Sutton in a very efficient manner. The surrounding neighbours were highly considered throughout the progress of the works, such as a live school that was located in close proximity adjacent to the site. The site supervisor and operatives were very supportive in their approach to the scheme in general and I would look forward to working with them again.”
