Heritage restoration and a modern clinical extension, delivered on a live healthcare site, careful, coordinated and fully accountable.
This was a project of two halves on one demanding site: sympathetically restoring a historic timber-framed hospital building, while building and fitting out a new clinical extension alongside it, all without disrupting a healthcare facility in daily use.
It called for programme discipline, the right accreditations and close coordination with the design and M&E teams from day one.
Scaffolded and surveyed at close quarters, the original oak frame was carefully repaired, decayed timbers spliced and replaced, panels made good, and the distinctive black-and-white elevations brought back to life with new render and finishes true to the building's character.
Heritage details, including original stained glass, were protected and reinstated.
Alongside the restoration we built a new extension, structural steel, fully insulated and weather-tight, finished with lead-detailed coping and render to tie into the existing building.
Inside, the new clinical rooms and corridors were fitted out to healthcare standards: hygienic wall finishes, suspended service ceilings, fire detection and full M&E integration.
New structural steel, mineral-wool insulation and a breathable, fire-rated envelope.
Rendered elevations and lead-detailed coping, matched into the existing building.
Hygienic finishes, service ceilings and full M&E to healthcare standards.
