Healthcare construction across the North East

A Commercial Contractor Your Clinical Team Can Trust

Construction and refurbishment within a healthcare environment requires a level of discipline that standard commercial building cannot match. Patient safety is paramount, infection control is non-negotiable, and the daily operations of a live clinical setting must be respected from day one.

MDS NE specializes in executing clean, quiet, and highly organized construction works within active medical facilities throughout the North East.

We understand the strict governance requirements, the necessity of dust-free zones, and the importance of working seamlessly alongside healthcare professionals.As a CHAS-accredited contractor, every clinical transformation we deliver comes complete with exhaustive Risk Assessments, Method Statements (RAMS), and a fully auditable compliance documentation pack handed over upon practical completion.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Have you worked in clinical settings before?
Yes. We carry out construction, fit-out and mechanical works in a range of clinical settings across the North East including GP surgeries, dental practices, clinics and care homes. We understand the operational constraints of live clinical environments, the infection control requirements and the governance documentation that healthcare clients need at handover. Every healthcare project we deliver is planned around the specific needs of the facility and the people who depend on it.
Can you work around live patient operations? 

Yes. We carry out construction and refurbishment works in occupied healthcare premises across the North East. We phase works carefully to maintain clinical capacity throughout the programme, agree access windows with the clinical team before work begins and schedule the noisiest elements of the works for times when patient activity is lowest. Where works need to be carried out in areas directly adjacent to clinical spaces we use hoarding and dust barriers to protect patients and staff throughout.

Do you produce infection control method statements?
Yes. Every healthcare project we deliver starts with a detailed infection control method statement agreed with the facilities team before work begins on site. This covers the physical barriers between the construction zone and clinical areas, clean-down protocols, waste removal procedures and any specialist measures required for the specific clinical environment. We treat infection control as a non-negotiable requirement on every healthcare project regardless of the size or scope of the works.
Do you work out of hours in healthcare settings?

Yes. Out of hours working is standard practice for us on healthcare projects where daytime disruption to patients and staff is not acceptable. We work evenings, nights and weekends to fit around clinical operations and we plan out of hours programmes carefully to make sure the right trades, materials and equipment are in place before work begins. All out of hours working is priced transparently as part of your project quotation.

Do you handle all compliance documentation?
Yes. We provide a full compliance documentation pack on handover covering RAMS, method statements, commissioning records, electrical and gas certificates, as-built drawings and any other documentation required by your governance team. Everything is indexed and handed over in one pack so nothing is missing and nothing needs to be chased after practical completion.
