Utility Source Powers Transformation of Historic Coltran Mill in Mexborough
Utility Source Ltd has been appointed to deliver essential utility infrastructure for the redevelopment of Coltran Mill in Mexborough, a landmark project set to transform the historic building into 60 luxury apartments and 26 homes.
Led by The Investment Room Ltd, with construction by Scorpion Construction UK Ltd, the development combines heritage preservation with modern living. Inspired by the mill workers’ cottages of the past, the design will breathe new life into one of Mexborough’s iconic sites, which was among the first to be added to Doncaster’s Local Heritage List.

The project presents unique challenges due to the site’s ageing utility infrastructure, with some connections dating back to the early 20th century. Utility Source has been tasked with delivering a comprehensive package of utility works, including temporary power for construction, upgrades to drainage systems, and new connections for water, electricity, and telecom services. Electric vehicle charging points will also be installed, ensuring the site is future-ready.
Dean Pattison, Owner of Utility Source, said:
“Coltran Mill is a project that perfectly blends history with innovation. It’s an honour to play a role in bringing this site into the modern era while respecting its heritage. We’re working closely with The Investment Room and Scorpion Construction UK to deliver robust, compliant, and future-proof utility solutions for both the construction phase and future residents.”
Julie Jones, Owner of The Investment Room Ltd, added:
“This redevelopment is about honouring the past while meeting the needs of modern living. Utility Source’s expertise in managing complex infrastructure challenges ensures the project runs smoothly and delivers high-quality results.”
Craig Allen, Owner of Scorpion Construction UK Ltd, commented:
“Every heritage project brings its own set of challenges. Utility Source’s proactive approach allows us to focus on delivering a build that combines quality craftsmanship with respect for the site’s legacy.”
The transformation of Coltran Mill marks an exciting step forward for the local community, creating high-quality homes and preserving a vital piece of Mexborough’s heritage.
