Modular construction is a quick, cost-effective solution for rebuilding after fire damage, as shown by this nursery refurbishment we completed in Liversedge, Yorkshire. After a serious fire left Hightown Nursery’s existing modular building beyond repair, the nursery urgently needed a fast-track construction solution to restore essential teaching space. With a very limited budget and the need for minimal disruption, MPH Building Systems were appointed to deliver a rapid, efficient and sustainable replacement.

The replacement nursery for Hightown Junior, Infant and Nursery School had to be a like-for-like modular building that replicated the layout and functionality of the fire-damaged structure. Key requirements included:
To achieve this, MPH proposed a refurbished modular building, providing the perfect balance of speed, sustainability and affordability.
MPH began by safely demolishing and removing the existing modularstructure and preparing the site for the fast-track replacement.
To accelerate the programme, MPH explored the potential to reuse the existing foundations. Through detailed ground investigations and structural calculations, the team confirmed that the original foundations were still suitable. This crucial step significantly sped up construction and avoided unnecessary groundworks—supporting both the budget and programme.

MPH then selected and fully refurbished a modular building from their stock, adapting it to:
Using a refurbished solution ensured the project remained cost-effective while supporting rapid delivery and sustainability.

The refurbished building was delivered and installed efficiently, with all works carried out to ensure minimal disruption.
The fast-track nature of modular construction allowed the nurseryto regain vital teaching space far sooner than traditional building methods would allow.
The Hightown Nursery project demonstrates how a fast-track construction solution after fire damage can successfully restore essential facilities while keeping costs under control. MPH delivered:
Hightown Nursery now benefits from a high-quality modular teaching space delivered quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively.
This project is one of many in which we have successfully delivered a time-sensitive, budget-friendly solution following fire damage. It showcases the efficiency and value of contemporary modular solutions.
