HANNA MECHANICAL SERVICES REFURBISHES AND UPDATES HEATING, VENTILATION AND DOMESTIC SERVICES FOR NORTHERN IRELAND’S NEWEST LUXURY HOTEL… MECHANICAL SERVICES

T he lakeside Rabbit Hotel & Retreat was the idyllic setting for one of Hanna Mechanical’s most prestigious recent projects. Following a £10m investment by owners, the Galgorm Group has transformed the former Templeton Hotel into a chic, boutique hotel and spa. The Carryduff mechanical services specialist was responsible for the refurbishment of all 33

hotel bedrooms and the old function room, which is now a fabulous banqueting suite and wedding venue known as The Loft. Works included stripping out all existing pipework back to the plantroom. New heating, plumbing and wastes were installed to each bedroom and ensuite including communal areas, with local ventilation to each ensuite. Radiators in the old function room were stripped out, and new air conditioning installed in the roof space. This was connected to grilles in the very high vaulted ceilings, providing hot and cold air to the newly refurbished banquet room. Commenting on the project, Rod Russell from Hanna Mechanical said, “Refurbishment projects are more challenging than new builds. Until you strip everything back, you don’t really know what you are going to be facing. But, for a project this size, it went very well. “Hugh J O’Boyle is a fantastic main contractor. They worked closely with us and all subcontractors on site and were very helpful.”
