From Outdated to Outstanding
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 Outdated, inefficient buildings drive up costs and push away both residents and staff.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
Helping Care Providers Modernise...Without Compromise
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.
Sustainable Solutions
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.
Dementia Friendly Design
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.
Supporting Neurological Care
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.
Full-Site Refurbishment
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.
Electrical & Fire Safety
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.
Building & External 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.
The Right Solution for Every Project - Whatever the Size, Budget or Timescale
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.
THE WORKS
Our team of experienced tradespeople understands the importance of working with sensitivity and respect in live care settings. We maintain strict safety and hygiene protocols, work around daily routines, and communicate regularly with care staff to ensure everyone is informed and prepared. We’re also committed to sourcing sustainable materials and implementing energy-efficient solutions wherever possible.
PLANNING AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Our structured approach keeps projects on track and care services running smoothly. You’ll have a dedicated project manager who will remain your single point of contact, providing clear updates and managing every aspect from coordinating trades to ensuring compliance with sector regulations. Our focus is on keeping you informed, reducing disruption, and delivering to deadline.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR ENVIRONMENT
We start by getting to know your setting, your residents, and the specific operational challenges you face. Whether it’s a bathroom adaptation to support mobility or a complete refurbishment of communal areas, we tailor our plans to meet the unique needs of each care environment. Pre-project meetings help us align on the scope, schedule, and key outcomes.
HANDOVER AND AFTERCARE
Upon completion, we provide a tailored handover plan to ensure everything functions as expected, from electrical systems to accessibility features. Our aftercare support includes a post-project review to address any snags, along with scheduled maintenance plans to keep your facilities operational and compliant.
We Plan Around You — So You Don’t Have to Work Around Us
From initial consultation to final handover, we manage every step of your project with the attention to detail that care settings demand. Our approach is built on sector knowledge, clear communication, and a commitment to minimising disruption, ensuring your project is completed on time, to specification, and with the least impact on daily care routines.

Paul Dykes, Project Manager, McLeod + Aitken
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.
