An award-winning principal contractor has successfully completed the initial phases of transforming the derelict Greenfield House in Alloa.

Hamilton-based firm Procast Group has commenced the serious restoration of the disused, classic manor house in Clackmannanshire, delivering the £1m, 13-month council contract on schedule and within budget.

Working in partnership with Clackmannanshire Council, Procast has completed phases one and two to ensure the historic and well-known building, situated inside Greenfield Park, is wind and watertight.

The scope of works included remedial repairs to the roof, gutters, and glazing to initiate the process of restoring the property to its former status. Additionally, the team carried out traditional joinery, structural stonework, slating, leadwork, brickwork, lintels, plaster repairs, some decoration, and the elimination of damp and dry rot.

The prominent building, which has remained vacant for eight years, has yet to have its final purpose determined by the council.

Procast Group, which presently employs a workforce of more than 130 staff, operates as a market leader in retrofitting initiatives and multi-trade contracting schemes throughout Scotland and the North of England.

Derek Innes, Owner and Managing Director of Procast Group, said: "We are delighted to have completed this initial phase of work on this fantastic heritage building, which has stood in the centre of Alloa for more than 130 years.

"Our hope is to be part of the journey to restoring this stunning manor house to past glories and, by completing phase one, we believe we have taken a huge stride forward to achieving that.

"Hopefully, we are able to continue with the works as a use is determined, to allow this cultural landmark back up to scratch and maintain its prominence in the town for another century."
