Tilbury Douglas successfully completes £1.5m refurbishment of Rutland Memorial Hospital

Tilbury Douglas has successfully completed the £1.5m refurbishment of Rutland Memorial Hospital on behalf of Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust.

Procured via the P22 Framework, the project included remodelling the 18-bed inpatient rehabilitation ward, as well as replacing old boilers and wiring, removing asbestos and installing new sections of the roof to prevent leaks. In addition, the staff room and staff kitchen have been fully upgraded and now feature a staff changing area.

Simon Butler, Managing Director Building Central at Tilbury Douglas, said: “As one of the oldest buildings owned by the Trust, we worked closely with all key stakeholders to ensure we delivered a modern facility whilst respecting and restoring the original features of the site, which dates back to 1924.”

Mandy Steel, Community Hospital Matron, said: “We should like to take this opportunity to thank Tilbury Douglas for the professional and sympathetic way in which the refurbishment works were undertaken on Rutland Ward over the past few months and thank you for including us in the project: the overall finish is such a positive transformation.”
