The project was carried out in a live care setting, requiring careful planning and coordination to minimise disruption to residents and staff. Full internal redecoration of communal and residential areas. Installation of new flooring throughout corridors, bedrooms and communal spaces. Supply and installation of new handrails to circulation corridors. Installation of new bedroom vanity units. Associated making good and finishing works.

The Challenge
The care home remained operational throughout the refurbishment programme, with vulnerable residents continuing to occupy bedrooms and communal areas. Maintaining a safe environment for residents, visitors and staff; minimising noise, dust and disruption.
Coordinating works around daily care routines; delivering works in phased sections to keep key facilities operational; ensuring finishes were durable, hygienic and suitable for a healthcare environment.
Our Solution
A phased delivery programme was developed in collaboration with the care home management team. Works were carefully sequenced to minimise disruption and allow residents to continue their daily activities safely.
