Project reaches completion

We are pleased to announce that residents are now able to use the newly completed extension and beautifully landscaped gardens at Stanfield Nursing Home.

The project, which began in May has successfully completed on time and to budget- thanks to great co-operation between all parties involved.

Everyone has been in high spirits this week as residents and the project team looked forward to seeing the final results. The project team have been hard at work to make sure that the carpet and vinyl floors are laid, furnishings fitted and the extension deep cleaned in time for the official opening. 

Richard White, owner of Stanfield Nursing Home, is said to be extremely pleased with the outcome of the project. His aim was to develop upon the great work already achieved by the independent nursing home with a new modern extension, including seven bedrooms, a community space and landscaped gardens. These modern facilities will undoubtedly be enjoyed by all residents. 

Photos of the completed project can be seen below:

Less than a week to go


The residents have been enjoying watching the finishing touches being carried out this week through the glazed screen.

The solid oak bedheads reflect the quality of finish throughout the project and are present to each bedroom. All en-suite shower rooms have received the vanity units, safety vinyl flooring and colourful hygienic cladding to the various walls. The carpet and vinyl floors are due to be laid imminently throughout the bedrooms and activity space and the light fittings fitted. Following this a thorough clean will take place and the building will be handed over as per the programme ready for the loose furniture to be placed.



The external garden has taken shape and the stunning hand crafted oak pergola can now be admired. The curved oak benching will provide an area for the residents to sit and enjoy the plants and colourful Clematis as they climb and twine around the pergola and bloom in the late summer. The willow fence is currently being hand weaved which will create a safe, natural surrounding for the residents. The garden will also provide the residents a sensory water feature and suitably raised planting boxes which will offer sensory plants. The Victorian style cedar greenhouse will provide a potential area for residents to grow their own vegetables or sensory plants.

Week 14

Internally the underfloor heating has been laid and covered with screed ready for the floor finish, once dried. Externally the scaffolding has now been removed to allow for the installation of the eaves, gutters and downpipes and the external works have commenced starting with the block paving. 


Week 12

The timber roof structure was completed followed by the installation of the natural slate coverings and the external windows and doors making the building watertight.





The feature Oak Screen is now fitted and will provide ample natural light into the activity space for the residents.  




Week 10


The works are progressing well in relation to the programme with the substructure now complete. The scaffold and masonry superstructure were built a couple of days ahead of programme allowing for the wall plate and timber roof trusses to be installed.  The underground drainage installation has been tested and the temporary hoarding to the existing corridor was placed to allow for the opening up of the existing walls and roof. A vision panel within the temporary hoarding provides light into the existing corridor and has been kindly decorated by a local artist Anne Bennett.

The Groundworks Begin


Following the Ground Breaking Ceremony, which took place on the 30th April 2014, the ground has been reduced in level to allow for the foundation footings to be dug and we are currently pouring the 53m3 of concrete into them.




With the site set-up now in place the construction works have now commenced on the Stanfield Nursing Home Project and are off to a good start.
