Healthcare. Uninterrupted.
Trusted by acute and mental health NHS Trusts nationally to deliver refurbishments, fire protection, decarbonisation and building compliance, with minimal disruption.
Supporting the NHS For Over 40 Years.
For over four decades, CLC has worked alongside NHS Trusts across the UK to deliver high-quality refurbishments, compliance works and essential upgrades. Our role is simple: to help keep healthcare facilities safe, functional and efficient, environments that support exceptional care every day.
We understand the pressures NHS estates face. From ageing buildings and strict compliance requirements to the challenge of maintaining services around-the-clock, continuity matters. With a £15.9 billion maintenance backlog — including £3.5 billion classed as high risk — we know the scale of the challenge. That’s why every project we deliver is planned around your operations, minimising disruption for staff, patients and visitors while maintaining safety and efficiency at every stage.
Our specialist teams work around your staff, patients and visitors to ensure your facilities never miss a beat.
Working Seamlessly In Live Healthcare Environments.
Delivering projects in live clinical environments requires sensitivity, flexibility and precision. Our experienced teams operate seamlessly within live clinical settings, combining precision, communication and sensitivity to maintain a safe, calm environment while essential works are delivered.
We coordinate closely with NHS staff, infection control teams and estates departments to schedule works around patient needs and daily operations. Every member of our workforce is fully DBS-checked and trained in safeguarding and customer care, ensuring the highest professional and ethical standards.
From minor refurbishments to complex multi-site upgrades, we bring reliability, respect and responsiveness to every project.
