Wimbledon Tennis Club, London

Structural Alterations & Four-Sided Copper Bar Installation

We were appointed by Wimbledon Tennis Club in London to deliver a full structural alteration and bar refurbishment, transforming the existing layout into a striking four-sided central bar area.

All works were completed whilst the centre remained fully open and operational, requiring careful planning, phased works, and strict health & safety management to minimise disruption to members and staff.

The project began with the removal of an existing load-bearing wall to open up the space and create the footprint required for a new four-sided bar configuration.

Our works included:

Installation of temporary structural supports
Careful demolition and removal of the load-bearing wall
Installation of structural steel in accordance with engineer specifications
Full compliance with health & safety requirements in a live environment

By removing the wall, we significantly improved sight lines, customer flow, and service capacity within the clubhouse.

Working in a Live Environment

Carrying out major structural works within an operational tennis club required:

Phased programming to avoid peak service times
Dust control measures and temporary screening
Protection to existing finishes
Strict site segregation and safe access routes
Close coordination with club management

This ensured minimal disruption to members while maintaining a safe working environment throughout.

With the structure altered, we rebuilt the bar from the ground up to form a new four-sided serving area.
Works included:
- Construction of a new bar framework
- Bespoke joinery panelling to bar fronts and gantry
- Integration of service voids and under-counter storage
- Preparation for beer taps and service equipment
The new layout improves staff efficiency behind the bar while allowing service from all sides, maximising capacity during busy periods.
A key feature of this project was the supply and installation of a bespoke copper worktop.
- Custom fabrication to suit the four-sided layout
- Precision forming around corners and tap penetrations
- Seamless detailing for a continuous finish
- Protective sealing for durability
The copper surface creates a premium focal point and brings warmth and character to the clubhouse interior.
Following the structural alterations and installation, we completed all associated making good works to ensure a seamless finish:
- Ceiling repairs and re-plastering
- Floor making good where the wall was removed
- Decoration to match existing finishes
- Final snagging and detailing

The Result

The completed project has transformed the space into a modern, high-performance four-sided bar that:

Increases serving efficiency
Improves customer flow
Enhances the visual impact of the clubhouse
Delivers a durable, high-end finish

This project showcases our ability to deliver complex structural alterations and bespoke joinery installations within a fully operational hospitality environment, without compromising safety, programme, or quality.
