Clinics & Medical Fit-Out
Surgeries, consult rooms and reception spaces built to CQC standard.
Overview
Considered clinical environments for dentists, consultants and specialist practices, built to CQC and HTM standards without losing the warmth of a hospitality interior.
A clinic has to pass two inspections. One is the CQC audit. The other is the way a patient feels the moment they walk through the door. We build for both. Sluice rooms, LEV, X-ray shielding and washable substrates are detailed with the same care as the reception joinery, the acoustic treatment and the lighting temperature at eye level.

Out of hours
Programmed around live patient lists, with weekend and evening working the norm rather than the exception.

Materials
The palette.
Specifications we return to, and the reasons why.
Altro and Polyflor sheet vinyl
Welded seams and coved skirtings for wipe-down hygiene.
Corian and solid surface
Seamless worktops, integrated basins, no grout lines to fail.
Antibacterial powder coatings
On cabinetry, handles and touchpoints.
Acoustic timber slat
For patient-facing walls that soften the clinical read.
“They rebuilt three surgeries around our patient list without cancelling a single appointment. The finish is closer to a hotel than a dentist.”

Answers
What clients ask.
Can you work while we keep seeing patients?
Yes. Most of our clinic projects run evenings, weekends and phased shutdowns. We isolate the working zone, maintain dust and infection control, and hand back the treated area between sessions.
Do you handle CQC and HTM compliance directly?
We build to the standards and provide the handover documentation. We coordinate with your compliance advisor or introduce one if you do not have one.
Can you fit out a single surgery or only whole practices?
Both. We have done single dental surgeries in six weeks and whole eight-surgery practices in sixteen. The methodology is the same.
