Krol Corlett & Heritage
Krol Corlett is proud to be playing a key role in the transformation of the Gamble Building alongside St Helens Council.
This exciting project represents a significant investment in the town’s future and the revitalisation of an important local landmark.
Working in close partnership, the team is committed to delivering a high-quality refurbishment that respects the building’s heritage while creating a modern, welcoming space for the community to enjoy.
“We are delighted to have been awarded the enabling works contract on this iconic building. For me personally, this is a full circle moment bringing me back to the town where I started out my journey to a career in construction and I look forward to playing a part in the next chapter of a building that means so much to the people of St Helens.”
Project Scope
Krol Corlett’s involvement is centred on the enabling works package, forming a key step in the wider vision to restore the Gamble Building as a vibrant community and cultural hub.
Working on behalf of St Helens Borough Council, the team is undertaking essential internal works including asbestos removal, the strip-out of redundant services and fittings, and preparatory works to floors and ceilings.
These carefully managed enabling works are critical to protecting the building’s heritage while ensuring it is ready for future transformation.
“As a council, we made a commitment to bring the Gamble Building back to its former glory and these images demonstrate the bold ambition we have for the next chapter of this historic landmark.
The designs allow people to understand our vision for the Gamble and how it truly will act as the living room of our Borough where there is something for everyone to access, enjoy and feel proud of now and for future generations.”
The Gamble Building – Further Scope
The broader regeneration proposals include a fully accessible entrance, enhanced library facilities, archive space, youth provision, community areas and a café, reimagining the building as a central civic space for St Helens.
Krol Corlett is thrilled to be helping lay the groundwork for the building’s long-term revival through delivering the enabling phase with precision and sensitivity, while respecting the building’s historic significance.
