A large reception desk within a healthcare environment had become tired and dated and was initially being considered for full replacement. While functional, the appearance no longer reflected a modern, welcoming reception space, and a full replacement would have involved significant cost and disruption to a busy, operational area.
The brief was to refresh the reception area, improve its appearance, and achieve this in a cost-effective way while keeping the space fully operational.
The brief was to refresh the reception area, improve its appearance, and achieve this in a cost-effective way while keeping the space fully operational.
By upgrading the visible surfaces rather than replacing the furniture entirely, the reception area was transformed with a fresh, modern finish. The use of architectural interior film provided a durable, easy-to-maintain surface suitable for a high-traffic healthcare environment.
Importantly, the refurbishment works were carried out with minimal disruption, allowing the reception desk to remain operational throughout.
As part of a refurbishment programme for an adolescent mental health ward, bespoke desk tops and wall panels were required for individual bedrooms. The furniture needed to be robust, safe, and suitable for a challenging environment, while achieving a clean, practical finish that integrated with the wider refurbishment works.
Durability was a key consideration, particularly given the size of the desks and the behaviours that can be present within adolescent environments.
Following an initial site visit, detailed measurements were taken to ensure the bespoke furniture would fit precisely within each bedroom. This early assessment allowed the design to be tailored to the specific requirements of the space and environment.
The desk tops and panels were then manufactured in-house at our UK facility using high-quality materials and proven construction methods. To enhance strength and longevity, the desk tops were produced at 50mm thickness, providing added resilience in a setting where furniture may be subject to heavy miss-use.
Our experience in delivering furniture for challenging environments informed every aspect of the design and build process, ensuring safety, durability, and long-term performance.
Once manufactured, the bespoke desk tops and panels were delivered to site and installed with precision, including careful cutting and fitting of infill panels to achieve a seamless finish.
Anti-pick mastic was applied where required to enhance safety and security for both service users and staff, supporting the overall risk-reduction strategy of the unit.
The installation was completed efficiently, working alongside the wider refurbishment programme to minimise disruption.
The reception area of a mental health facility plays a key role in creating a welcoming and reassuring first impression for visitors, service users, and staff. As part of a refresh to an existing reception space, new seating was required that would balance comfort, durability, and a contemporary aesthetic suitable for a clinical environment.
The solution also needed to be delivered within a defined timeframe to align with operational requirements.
A seating solution was specified to enhance both the visual appeal and functionality of the reception area. Upholstered reception chairs were selected for their clean design, comfort, and suitability for healthcare environments.
To ensure the seating integrated seamlessly with the existing interior scheme, the chairs were upholstered in a fabric selected to complement the overall space, creating a cohesive and welcoming environment.
As a UK manufacturer, the furniture was produced and delivered within a four-week timeframe from purchase order, supporting the programme of works without unnecessary delay.
In addition to supplying the new reception seating, support was provided to assist with the removal and relocation of existing furniture to an alternative site. This ensured a smooth transition and minimised disruption to the day-to-day operation of the facility.
This project involved the design and delivery of bespoke furniture solutions for a secure adolescent mental health unit within an NHS mental health setting.

The scope included the supply and installation of furniture across multiple bedrooms, as well as dining, lounge, and reception areas, all delivered within a tight programme and on an operational ward.
The existing furniture required replacement to improve safety, durability, and overall presentation. As the ward remained live throughout the works, the project demanded a carefully planned approach that prioritised patient care, staff workflows, and risk management.
Key challenges included:
The bedrooms were fitted with a robust, ligature-resistant range Apollo Pro, a range designed specifically for mental health environments. Construction methods and detailing were selected to enhance durability and reduce risk, with particular attention paid to eliminating ligature points, stashing opportunities, and liquid ingress.
All joints were sealed using anti-pick mastic to achieve a secure, hygienic, and long-lasting finish suitable for a high-use clinical setting.
In addition to the bedroom furniture, new seating was supplied for dining, lounge, and reception areas. The selected furniture balanced comfort, durability, and a contemporary appearance, contributing to a more welcoming and functional environment for service users, visitors, and staff.
Due to the urgent requirement, all furniture was manufactured, delivered, and installed within a four-week period. This ensured the unit could be upgraded promptly without compromising quality or safety.
To minimise disruption, delivery and installation were carried out in carefully managed phases. Access was limited to a small number of bedrooms per day, allowing existing furniture to be removed, replaced, and made good efficiently.
All removed furniture was taken off site and sent for recycling, supporting a responsible and sustainable approach to disposal.
