JCA Consulting supported Ace Padel to deliver the first indoor padel courts in Stoke-on-Trent. As a result, the project created a new destination for sport and community activity.

The project involved the redevelopment of the former Magnet showroom on Elder Road. Consequently, the building was brought back into active use as a high-quality indoor sports facility.

Importantly, this approach promoted sustainable reuse. In addition, it enhanced the local area and supported economic activity.

From the outset, JCA Consulting provided clear technical advice. This ensured the client could assess the building’s condition, risks, and potential. As a result, the client proceeded with confidence.

Work Involved

JCA Consulting provided a range of professional services to support the project, including:

• Pre-acquisition commercial advice, which enabled an informed purchase decision
• Commercial acquisition survey, which identified risks, defects, and potential liabilities
• Detailed building condition survey, which assessed structural integrity and building fabric
• Identification of required repairs and upgrades, including key elements such as roof replacement
• Advice on statutory compliance, ensuring the building could be safely redeveloped
• Ongoing technical support, which helped define the scope of works and project requirements

JCA Consulting played a key role in the successful delivery of this development. By providing clear and practical advice, we helped de-risk the project from the outset.

Furthermore, our input enabled a smooth transition from acquisition through to redevelopment. The result is a modern indoor padel facility that benefits the wider community.

Ultimately, the scheme demonstrates the value of reusing existing buildings. It also highlights how targeted investment can support local growth, health, and wellbeing.
