“

I can highly recommend County Contractors – honest, proactive, and non-contractual. They always work hard to hit your time-frames and are great at working on a live building…for us, very easy to work with.”

A five-star upgrade in live phases

This landmark project saw the complete transformation of over 400 rooms and suites at the Royal Lancaster London, executed in two major phases across 17 floors. Our team delivered full internal strip-out, demolition and reconstruction of bathrooms, corridors, and guest areas, all to a new five-star spec with detailed CDP elements including bespoke joinery, marble, and fire alarm systems.

Phase 1 (floors 17–11) was fully completed then Phase 2 (floors 10–3) began, allowing continuous hotel operations with no downtime. It was a privilege to contribute to the future of one of London’s most prestigious hotels, working alongside a dedicated in-house team.

Structural scale, live-site precision

Transforming a live, luxury hotel at this scale required high-level coordination across all services and structures. We managed M&E integration, data and IT systems, and all mechanical works—replacing ventilation, VRF systems, and public health risers without interrupting guest services.'

Key structural works included:

Installation of 40 rooftop condensers with new structural steel
New Triflex roof system and two AHUs
Full demolition and rebuild of floors 15–19, including a new boiler room and lift extension to the 19th floor

With over 300 operatives onsite daily, we removed 300+ cubic tons of waste monthly, achieving 94% recycling. A technically demanding programme, delivered with zero down days.
