The North division of building services firm, SES, has completed the £10 million installation of the mechanical & electrical services to Rockliffe Hall Hotel & Spa, in Hurworth-on-Tees near Darlington.

Since construction work began in 2006, the hall has been renovated from a run down 19th century mansion, into a luxurious 5-star hotel and golf complex.

Amongst all the usual building services installations, SES was involved in fitting some of the most sophisticated high-end lighting and integrated management system to the hotel in order to ensure comfort and quality within the facility. 

A vast amount of planning was required to incorporate the complex mechanical & electrical equipment into the project and to provide a modern services infrastructure, which was not only sympathetic to the old building, but met the demands and high standards of the client.

The hotel boasts 61 individually designed bedrooms and apartels, three exclusive restaurants, a championship golf course and a spa which houses holistic treatment rooms, kinetic gym and pool facilities. With all of these amenities, it is hard to deny that the Rockliffe Hall Hotel raises the bar for 5-star hotels everywhere and is a credit to the teams involved in the construction.

Steve Joyce, Operations Director for SES, North Division said: “There was never going to be an off the shelf solution for a project like this and, being such a prestigious and complex development, SES was keen to rise to the challenge.

“What you see when you walk around the completed hotel, is quality without compromise – all the hard work that SES and the construction teams have put in to turning the hotel from an artist’s impression into a lavish reality makes it all worthwhile. The finished product is a million miles away from the ploughed field we started with two and a half years ago.”
