A new roof gantry, lifts, cladding replacement and gatehouse will also be installed as part of the project while secure entrances will be rebuilt.

Skanska was awarded the contract by Telehouse, which operates eight facilities in London, Paris and Frankfurt, following completion of an early works package at the site under a pre-construction services agreement.

Work on the main contract is due to be completed by June next year and is one of the biggest fit-outs by value the firm has carried out in the UK.
