Part of a Rugeley industrial estate has undergone an £800,000 refurbishment. 

Multi-let industrial property company Sandyford Properties has spent the sum on 24 of the 36 units at Riverside Industrial Estate. 

Sandyford Properties purchased the site by the A51, which has unit space totally 74,000 sq ft, in two separate transactions two years ago. 

Works were undertaken by Carson Powell Construction and consisted of roof overskin and new cladding, flat roof replacements, window replacements and the installation of new roller shutter and pedestrian doors. 

Following the refurbishment, there are two vacant units. 

Paul Brindley, managing director of Sandyford Properties, said: “Riverside Industrial Estate has almost all of the traits that Sandyford looks for in an industrial investment. It is prominently located and consists of the smaller-unit sizes for which market demand is so strong.  

“We like to buy estates that need investment to realise their potential. There is a gap in the market for good quality, refurbished industrial space, where we can attract better tenants at higher rents.”
