Strathmór Building Co. was appointed to deliver a comprehensive refurbishment of an occupied residential care facility, with the primary objective of enhancing safety, comfort, and accessibility for both residents and staff. The project required careful phasing, close coordination, and minimal disruption to ongoing daily operations.
With our multi-trade capability and turnkey approach, we delivered a high-quality refurbishment that met modern compliance standards while providing a more functional and welcoming living environment.
Project Summary
Sector: Residential Healthcare
Duration: 12 Weeks
Services Delivered: Full refurbishment, electrical upgrades, fire safety installations, interior finishes, phased delivery
The Brief
The scope of the project involved updating key areas within the care facility, including bedrooms, communal spaces, and essential services infrastructure. Particular attention was required to improve fire safety systems, replace outdated fixtures and fittings, and create brighter, more accessible internal spaces.
The refurbishment had to be delivered in phases, allowing the facility to remain operational throughout the works.
Our Turnkey Approach
Strathmór’s in-house team managed the project from start to finish, delivering all trades under one contract. A dedicated site supervisor coordinated our tradespeople to ensure a safe, efficient, and respectful working environment within an occupied setting.
Key works included:
- Upgrading of the electrical infrastructure and lighting systems
- Installation of a new fire alarm and emergency lighting in line with current safety regulations
- Redecoration of bedrooms and shared areas with durable, hygienic finishes
- Joinery repairs and fixture replacements throughout
- Flooring replacement with anti-slip and easy-clean materials
- Careful scheduling to minimise disruption to residents and staff
Project Outcomes
The completed works have significantly improved the facility’s environment, both in terms of aesthetics and functionality. Residents now benefit from improved lighting, modernised interiors, and enhanced safety systems — all delivered without the need for temporary relocation.
This project highlights Strathmór’s ability to carry out live-environment refurbishments with minimal disruption. Our experience in delivering multi-trade projects within healthcare and residential settings ensures both compliance and compassion are at the core of our delivery.
