Healthcare

Healthcare estates face pressure from every direction. Waiting lists are growing, buildings are ageing, maintenance backlogs are mounting and capital budgets are stretched. All the while, clinical services must keep running safely around the clock. Seddon delivers healthcare construction that keeps care moving. We work across acute hospitals, mental health facilities, primary care centres and rehabilitation units. Our services cover refurbishments, extensions, ward upgrades, planned maintenance and new-build healthcare facilities. Most of our healthcare work takes place in live clinical settings, so infection prevention and control and patient safety shape every decision we make. We agree phasing with clinical teams, contain works areas and work to HTM and HBN standards, keeping disruption to patients and staff to a minimum. The result is modern, compliant healthcare environments, delivered to programme and built to support better patient outcomes for years to come.

Powering a greener healthcare sector

Healthcare Decarbonisation

The NHS has committed to reach net zero by 2040 for the emissions it controls directly, and its estate is one of the biggest challenges in getting there

Hospitals and clinics run 24 hours a day and use large amounts of energy. Many depend on fossil-fuel heating and ageing building fabric. Upgrading them means working inside live clinical environments where patient safety comes first. Seddon helps healthcare estates make that transition without interrupting care. Our support runs from the earliest stages, from identifying funding and scoping works to building the business case, through to delivering comprehensive M&E and retrofit solutions. That includes roof and insulation upgrades, window replacements, LED lighting, heating and ventilation improvements, and the move to low-carbon technologies. We phase every project around clinical services, keep works areas contained and maintain strict infection control. The result is healthcare buildings that cost less to run, are more comfortable for patients and staff, and are ready for a net zero future.

Construction without compromise

Specialist Infection Control

In a healthcare setting, construction risk isn’t just about noise and access. Dust, airborne spores such as Aspergillus, and disturbed water systems can pose a serious threat to vulnerable patients. Yet wards, theatres and clinics can rarely close, so work has to happen alongside patient care. Seddon specialises in keeping healthcare environments safe, clean and fully operational during construction. Before work begins, we complete an infection control risk assessment with your infection prevention and estates teams. Each project then gets controls to match its risk level: sealed dust-proof barriers, negative-pressure enclosures with HEPA filtration, controlled access routes, and strict cleaning and waste protocols. We protect water systems and ventilation in line with HBN 00-09 and HTM guidance, and we phase works bay by bay and ward by ward so services keep running. Our site teams are trained to work in clinical environments, so they respect patient dignity, keep noise low and communicate clearly with clinical staff. The result is high-quality refurbishments and upgrades, delivered to programme, while patients, staff and visitors stay protected throughout.
