Trent Valley Electrical Services transform Bottesford Sports Hall
Trent Valley Electrical Services, has delivered a full refurbishment at Bottesford Sports Hall in Scunthorpe, supporting the transformation of one of the area’s most valued community facilities.
The work formed part of a major modernisation project to ensure the venue continues to meet the needs of local people of all ages and sports groups, improving safety, energy efficiency and usability.
As part of the refurbishment, the team replaced outdated systems with modern LED lighting, upgraded life‑safety equipment and a new power distribution setup designed to future‑proof the building.
They also integrated the hall’s existing solar PV and battery storage into the new infrastructure, helping the facility make better use of renewable energy and reduce ongoing running costs.
Lighting throughout the hall, corridors, changing rooms and accessible facilities has been enhanced to create brighter, more welcoming spaces for users of all ages. Improved emergency lighting, fire alarms and ventilation systems ensure a safer and more comfortable environment for sports clubs, schools and community groups.
Externally, new LED perimeter lighting has increased visibility and safety around the site, supporting evening activities and improving access for visitors.
Local companies TG Sowerbys and H2O Heating Engineers also supported the project, along with volunteers who carried out all the redecorations.
Delivered over 12 weeks, the project has resulted in a more reliable, energy‑efficient and modern facility, helping secure the long‑term future of Bottesford Sports Hall as a key asset for the community.
Michelle Mills, Trent Valley Electrical Services General Manager said: “We were delighted to be chosen as one of the preferred suppliers to support the transformation of this much-loved community venue.
“It’s fantastic to see such a valued local venue benefiting from modern, sustainable electrical solutions that will serve residents for many years to come.”
Steve Altoft, Facilities Manager, said: “We needed to make the buildings more affordable, it’s a much-loved community venue and the refurbishment means so much.
“The new LED lighting looks great in our Sports Hall and changing room areas, and we now have a fit-for-purpose disabled WC with an alarm system.
“The renewable energy services provided by Trent Valley Electrical Services, including solar and battery storage systems to each of our buildings, means we can power areas like our football ground much more affordably at night, by storing electricity it in the day.
“This is a community asset, and we’ve had lots of positive feedback already.”
Trent Valley Electrical Services is proud to have supported this upgrade, ensuring the venue is ready to serve local people for many years to come.
