Why Care Home Refurbishments Matter
Many care providers struggle to keep occupancy high, retain staff, and meet regulatory standards — all while staying profitable. Outdated, inefficient buildings drive up costs and push away both residents and staff.
We modernise tired spaces into welcoming, efficient environments that attract residents, support staff, and improve profitability. Our experience in live care settings means we handle everything for you with minimal disruption to daily care and always with a focus on:
-
Modernising your portfolio to meet resident and family expectations
-
Enhancing staff satisfaction and retention
-
Improving energy efficiency and reducing running costs
-
Strengthening brand reputation and profitability
-
Ensuring safety, accessibility, and compliance
Our Approach to Safe and Sustainable Care Home Renovations
No two care environments are the same — but they all demand the same thing from a refurbishment partner: absolute reliability. That means delivering on time, working discreetly in live settings, and planning every stage of the job around your team, your routines, and your residents. The projects that follow show how we’ve delivered just that. From phased refurbishments with zero bed loss to fast-tracked upgrades scheduled around inspections, each one reflects our understanding of what’s at stake when you choose to invest in your space.
We help care providers cut energy use, reduce long-term costs, and improve everyday living through upgrades like LED lighting, efficient heating, and durable, low-maintenance materials. We also minimise waste, reuse where possible, and work with suppliers who share our commitment to sustainable construction.
Sustainable Refurbishments
We design and deliver environments that support residents living with dementia — using clear wayfinding, calming layouts, and strong visual contrasts to improve safety and reduce confusion. From corridor refurbishments to adapted bathrooms, every detail is considered to make daily life easier and more comfortable.
Dementia Friendly Spaces
We create environments that support people with complex neurological conditions — using adaptable spaces, durable finishes, and designs that reduce overstimulation and support sensory needs. Whether it's reconfiguring bedrooms or upgrading therapy areas, we focus on safety, accessibility, and long-term functionality.
Neurological Care Environments
Whether it’s a one-off project or part of a planned programme across multiple homes, we deliver well-managed, compliant works — coordinating all trades from start to finish across bedrooms, bathrooms, staff areas and more, while keeping care services running safely and smoothly.
Complete Care Refurbishments
We deliver fully compliant electrical and fire safety works that keep care settings safe, efficient, and inspection-ready. From LED lighting and EICRs to fire alarms, PAT testing and extinguisher servicing, we help you stay on top of compliance and meet essential safety standards.
Safety & Compliance Works
We deliver internal and external improvements that help care providers make better use of their space. From structural alterations, extensions and bespoke joinery to access ramps, roof repairs and landscaped gardens, our work is practical, well-managed, and designed to support long-term use.
External & Structural Upgrades
Care Home Refurbishments Tailored to Your Budget, Timeline, and Goals
From minor upgrades to full-scale refurbishments, our services are shaped by the unique needs of the care sector. Whether you’re looking to create safer, more sustainable spaces or adapt environments for dementia or neurological care, we bring specialist knowledge and practical solutions that stand the test of time. Every service is designed to support better outcomes for residents, staff, and operators alike.
Carrying Out Works with Minimal Disruption to Care
Our experienced teams work respectfully in live care settings, following strict hygiene and safety protocols to minimise disruption for residents and staff. We schedule works around your routines, communicate clearly with care teams, and maintain a clean, safe environment throughout. Wherever possible, we use sustainable materials and efficient methods to deliver long-lasting results with minimal impact on your operations.
Planning and Compliance-Driven Project Management
Every project is managed by a dedicated point of contact who coordinates all trades, ensures regulatory compliance, and keeps you informed at every stage. Our structured planning process ensures your care services remain uninterrupted while timelines, safety protocols, and inspections are tightly managed. Clear updates reduce stress and support smoother decision-making for your team.
Understanding Your Care Setting and Operational Needs
We begin by learning how your care environment operates — from the needs of residents to the practical realities of daily routines and staff workflows. Whether it’s a bathroom adaptation for accessibility or a full refurbishment of communal areas, our plans are tailored to your setting’s priorities. Pre-project meetings help us align on timelines, safety considerations, and compliance goals from the outset.
Tailored Handover and Ongoing Compliance Support
Once your refurbishment is complete, we provide a structured handover covering all systems, safety features, and regulatory considerations. Our aftercare includes a post-project review to resolve any outstanding issues and a maintenance plan to help you remain compliant, operational, and inspection-ready. We’re here for the long term — not just until the paint dries.
Our Step-by-Step Approach to Stress-Free Care Home Refurbishments
From first consultation to final handover, we manage every stage of your care home refurbishment with minimal disruption to residents and staff. Our structured process is built on deep sector knowledge, safety and hygiene best practices, and full compliance with CQC and regulatory standards — so you can focus on care while we handle everything else.

What our clients are saying
I would just like to provide you with some feedback in relation to the contractors that have worked at Burbank completing the office works. Tony and his team have been amazing throughout; they have been very professional courteous of staff and residents throughout. They have even gone above and beyond and helped me a couple of times when I needed some items moving in one of the properties. Tony ensured that the site was secure, and all tools were stored safely and locked away at the end of each day. Throughout the process the team have provided me with an overview of the progress, and they have remained on schedule. When the team came across obstacles Tony took feedback from the team to minimise disruption to the residents by providing additional access points to keep the area safe. They deserve a huge pat on the back.
