Live hospital works — sealed zones, routes and night windows

We deliver ward, theatre and imaging refurbishments inside live hospitals with sealed containment, agreed red and blue routes and clear night or weekend windows. Patients, staff and visitors move safely around works while programmes stay predictable.

Typical scopes include ward refurbishments, new side rooms and isolation, treatment and recovery areas, theatres and hybrid suites, imaging rooms, nurse bases, sanitary spaces and supporting plant and MEP upgrades. Infection prevention, HTM/HBN compliance and clinical cleaning are built in from day one.
