Oakwill recently had the pleasure of being able to give back to the high school Gary attended -Ysgol Bryn Elian. Caretaker Duncan Ellis reached out to Oakwill’s director Gary Hughes as the school were refurbishing the library and wondered if Oakwill were able to help out.
Gary attended Ysgol Bryn Elian between 1995 and 2000, was more than happy to donate enough carpet tiles to refurb their library floor. Gary said it was great to be able to give back a little to his school and supplied them with a range of coloured carpet tiles. Duncan and his colleague Kev went on to fitting the floor and the Oakwill team think they have done a fabulous Job!
Bryn Elian’s put a post on their facebook and Instagram pages thanking everyone involvement in the library’s refurbishment. Including artist Tracey Watt for her fantastic work on the library walls and friends of Bryn Elian donating towards restocking the books.
We at Oakwill think the Library looks fabulous and hope everyone who uses the library will enjoy the new look!

Capturing the essence of natural wood and stone flooring while offering the practicality of luxury vinyl, Karndean floors are built to endure even the heaviest of footfall.
Here are just some of the benefits of a Kardean floor -
Exceptionally durable with a textured yet resilient wear layer, vinyl floor tiles resist chipping and cracking.
Enhanced with K-Guard surface protection, Karndean vinyl tiles feature a hygienic, stain-resistant, and waterproof surface that's effortless to maintain.
Delivering unexpected warmth and tranquility underfoot, Karndean floors are also compatible with underfloor heating systems. Especially suitable for upper-level rooms, Karndean loose lay ranges incorporate an innovative backing to minimise noise transmission to rooms below.

Flooring for the Excalibur Ship in Holyhead
From lighthouses to hospitals and now flooring for a ship! Oakwill’s work is very varied and that’s the way we like it.
From lighthouses to hospitals and now flooring for a ship! The types of projects Oakwill work on can be very varied, and this one was no exception. The Oakwill team recently installed some vinyl flooring to The Fugro, Excalibur Ship which was docked in Holyhead.
Excalibur takes the crown as the biggest jack-up barge in Fugro's lineup, proudly meeting Germanischer Lloyd standards. Sporting eight legs, it can comfortably handle water depths up to 40 meters. It's been a go-to for setting up foundations in offshore wind farm projects and, another bonus, it even has an integral foundation drilling unit.
We were awarded the project by the fantastic Mod Pods Of Conwy and had the task of installing Vinyl flooring to their storage room.
The first task was to fill and smooth the ply joints using Ardex Feather Finish to get a perfect subfloor ready to install the Vinyl flooring. Once completed we then fitted Altro Walkway in the colour of ‘Streetlight’ - a great hard wearing and bright flooring perfect for a busy ship!
