Client: Barnes Construction
Sector: Hotels
Scope: Drylining | Partitions | Suspended Ceilings | MF Ceilings | Plastering | Tape & Joint | Steel Encasement | Acoustic Treatment | Fire Stopping | Screeding | Decorating
Location: Gredley House, Broadway, Stratford, London
Programme: 27 January 2025 to 9 January 2026
Project overview
Gredley House is an existing five-storey office building on Broadway, Stratford, refurbished by Barnes Construction into a 151-bedroom Travelodge hotel with reception, bar and restaurant.
GA Interiors was appointed by Barnes Construction to deliver the internal wall installations, steel encasement, ceilings and tape and joint finishes. Internal works started on 27 January 2025 and were completed in line with the programme on 9 January 2026.
Our scope
GA Interiors delivered the following throughout the building:
- Drylining and internal partition walls, including acoustic partitions
- Steel encasement
- Suspended and MF ceilings
- Plastering and tape and joint
- Fire stopping
- Screeding and painting
All works were carried out using Hadley metal framing systems and British Gypsum boards.
Challenges and solutions
- Irregular layouts: the existing office building had irregular floor plans with many wall returns and corners, which needed careful setting out and detailing.
- Top floor acoustics: to meet enhanced acoustic requirements, GA Interiors lined the existing timber substrates with two layers of 15mm British Gypsum Soundbloc FireLine board, followed by timber battens fixed with an Isomoxa acoustic system. This met the performance requirements without affecting the programme.
- Material logistics: Barnes Construction formed a temporary opening in the building for a temporary goods hoist, which made material handling much more efficient and kept progress steady on every floor.
Outcome
At peak, GA Interiors had up to 30 operatives on site, working at the same time on first fix, second fix and tape and joint. Close collaboration with Barnes Construction kept the works coordinated, safe and on programme through to completion in January 2026.

Location: 632 Chiswick High Road, London, W4 5RY
Project overview
The new Travelodge on Chiswick High Road is a six-storey, 113-bedroom hotel in west London. GA Interiors Ltd delivered the internal fit-out package for main contractor Barnes Construction, in line with the project specifications and current Building Regulations.
Our scope
GA Interiors delivered the following works:
- Acoustic and fire-rated party walls between bedrooms
- Drylining, partitions and insulation
- MF suspended ceilings to Hadley’s design details, with a grid ceiling in selected areas for maintenance access
- Encasement of structural steel using British Gypsum approved systems
- Coordination and installation of prefabricated bathroom pods
- Tape and joint across all plasterboard surfaces, ready for decoration
- Fire stopping, render and decorating
Challenges and solutions
- Acoustic and fire separation: party wall systems were specified and built to meet both sound insulation and fire containment criteria.
- Services above ceilings: the MF ceiling gave a clean finish while accommodating the mechanical and electrical services above, with grid ceilings where access is needed.
- Bathroom pods: accurate placement and alignment within the structure was essential so the pods tied in with surrounding finishes and building services.
Outcome
The package was delivered with close coordination across trades, giving the hotel a finish ready for decoration and handover, compliant with the required fire-resistance and acoustic performance.

GA Interiors Ltd delivered the partitioning and ceilings package for main contractor Fileturn. Work started in autumn 2022 and was completed in December 2022.
Our scope
GA Interiors built the walls and ceilings that frame the finished interior:
- All partitions and linings to external walls, with pattresses, insulation and boarding to a skim finish
- A partly curved wall in the coffee shop, formed to take feature wallpaper
- MF ceiling with a skim finish in the café, with pattresses and discreet access panels
- Lay-in grid ceiling in the kitchen
- Support framing for heating units on the coffee shop’s external walls
- Brass rings around the columns
Challenges and solutions
- Curved feature wall: the coffee shop wall was formed to a partial curve and finished to a standard ready for decorative wallpaper.
- Hidden access: access panels were set discreetly into walls and ceilings so services stay reachable without spoiling the finish.
- Heating on external walls: support for the heating units was detailed to work structurally and sit neatly within the design.
Outcome
The package was completed in December 2022, and the brass column rings became one of the space’s defining details.
