Fountain Workshop COVID-19 Update
As a direct response to the Government guidelines, we are temporarily stepping back from maintenance of our water features, many of which are located in publicly accessible spaces. Our decision is based on doing what we as a responsible business believe to be morally right, at this extraordinary time.
As soon as the situation improves and the Government issues guidelines accordingly, we will return to work. Until then please stay home, save lives.
Bradford Refurbishment Underway
Bradford Refurbishment Underway
Final work to refurbish the City Park water feature in Bradford has got underway following a burst pipe last year. The damage from this burst pipe was extensive, requiring repairs throughout the plantroom.
The Fountain Workshop managed to provide emergency repairs to the Mirror Pool plantroom immediately following the incident, meaning that the water feature was able to be partly operational throughout its most popular period over the Summer, and we are now delighted to share that we are now in the process of undertaking full refurbishment work.
Happy New Year!
