One of London's Leading Cash and Carry Opens New Depot at Hayes

Dhamecha Cash and Carry open store No 6.


The Dhamecha Group is the largest partner in the Today buying group, which is one of Europe's biggest buying group.


This new cash and carry outlet in Hayes is Dhamecha’s sixth outlet. The new depot is over 8000sqm of spacious aisles with over 200 parking bays and 14 tills, reducing your paying and exit time.


YOOP worked closely with the client to maximise available sale floor space while still providing staff offices and amenity space.

The site was previously a warehouse and distribution centre for a leading high street retailer, who unfortunately didn’t make it through the recession.


The scheme required the replacement of all the existing mechanical and electrical services, including fire detection systems, internal demolition of mezzanine floors and redundant plant machinery.

The team at Dhamecha took the bold decision to renew all the ageing services bringing them up to current building regulation standards. Working closely with building inspectors Butler and Young Ltd (Colin Winton and Alan Hills), and the principle contractor, Vascroft Contractors Ltd (Shashi Vekaria), the whole project was turned around in less than 5 months from issuing the F10, to the opening celebrations last week.

YOOP dealt with all planning issues, building regulations and also undertook the role of CDM Coordinator.
