Buile Hill Mansion is a Grade II-listed historic building in Salford. Closed for more than two decades following the closure of the Lancashire Mining Museum in 2000, it has been brought back to life through a major restoration and refurbishment project.
The 8,000 sq ft mansion has been converted into a prestigious wedding and events venue, with 3,000 sq ft of new office space for Salford City Council’s registry service.
Relocating the city council’s registry office to Buile Hill Mansion was aimed at improving public access, enhancing services, and creating a one-stop destination for couples planning their special day.
The development also supports the wider community, with the ground-floor café welcoming park visitors and families, and a dedicated community room available for local groups, clubs and activities.
This refurbishment marks a significant step forward for a building with deep roots in Salford’s heritage, ensuring its future as a vibrant and functional public space.

John Turner Construction appointed Inscape to deliver bespoke washroom systems that would complement the newly restored interior while providing durable, hard-working solutions suitable for a high-footfall public venue.
Our Aluline Cubicle Systems and Extremus IPS Systems were installed as modern solutions designed to service all users of the building. Featuring minimalistic aluminium-profiled fronts and sleek fittings, the systems provide a contemporary finish in keeping with the mansion’s refurbished décor.
We manufactured and installed:
- Extremus Cubicles
- Extremus IPS Systems
To ensure both performance and premium appearance, we specified high-quality materials and fittings from trusted manufacturers, including:
-
Fundermax Compact Grade Laminate
-
Fundermax High Pressure Laminate
-
Cobtec Powder Coated Brass Sheen Fittings
These robust materials were selected for their durability, moisture resistance and long-lasting aesthetic, ensuring the washroom facilities meet the demands of a busy events venue and public-facing civic space.
The Buile Hill Mansion transformation reinforces Inscape’s expertise in delivering high-performance washroom systems for heritage refurbishments, balancing modern design with the practical requirements of complex community and leisure environments.
