Our Construction Services

Design & Build

We’ve worked with both independent care operators and national providers throughout Kent, giving us a clear understanding of what today’s care homes need. From layout planning to practical build solutions, we bring sector-specific insight that helps ensure every project meets regulatory standards while remaining warm, welcoming, and efficient to run.

Whether it’s a new dementia care home in Maidstone or a dual-registered facility in Ashford, we design and build with the people who will use the space in mind: residents, carers, and management teams alike.

Refurbishment & Upgrades

If your care home needs refreshing to meet new standards or to improve the quality of the space, we offer full and partial refurbishments across Kent. Whether it’s updating interiors, reconfiguring layout for better staff flow, or improving accessibility, we work around your live operations with care and attention to detail.

We’ve helped providers across Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells, and Dartford breathe new life into ageing buildings all while keeping projects within budget and timelines.

Care Home Extensions

Seeking to expand capacity or introduce new resident facilities? We can help you make the most of your existing footprint. From additional bedrooms and lounges to therapy rooms and garden access, we deliver well-planned extensions that blend seamlessly with your current building.

We also take on smaller, cost-effective projects ideal for growing operators who need flexible, scalable solutions without undertaking a complete redevelopment.

Why Build or Refurbish in Kent?

Kent is right up there in the South East when it comes to getting new care homes up and running, and it's easy to see why. The region's got a growing elderly population, which is obviously a need for care homes. On top of that, transport links are strong, and local councils are pretty supportive, so for operators and investors, there are some excellent opportunities here.

Now, many old care homes across Kent need urgent modernisation to be able to meet the standards we need today. Modernising or expanding them lets the people running them improve things, increase capacity, and that gives them a much stronger long-term position in the market.

The fact that Kent is so close to London & the South Coast is a big draw for families who want to get their loved ones into high-quality care close to home. We're talking places like Maidstone, Ashford, and Tunbridge Wells, each of which is offering all sorts of redevelopment opportunities with available land and former healthcare sites ready to be used in some new way.

Local authorities are pushing the idea of building sustainable care homes and energy-efficient homes, and we help our clients turn that into a reality by building homes that are compliant, comfortable, and future-proof.

At Care Home Builders, our team combines the planning knowledge that really helps with the day-to-day running of care homes to bring our Kent clients' plans to life. We're talking about turning potential into successful, long-lasting projects.

Building in Kent: Local Knowledge & Trusted Partners

Kent's a county that really values years of experience. You see it in the challenging coastal conditions in Whitstable & Herne Bay as much as in the vibrant town centres of Maidstone & Medway. The combination of great scenery and busy streets means every build brings its own set of very practical issues. That's why having a team that properly knows the county makes a huge difference.

At Care Home Builders, we plan every single detail of a project around exactly the kind of location it is. That means accounting for narrow lanes, working in live environments and dealing with busy urban access points, all while keeping residents, staff and neighbours safe and making steady progress on site.

It's our ability to work with others that's been the key to our success in Kent over the years. We've built strong relationships with local contractors who share our standards & values , along with specialist tradespeople and suppliers who know what they're doing. That means we can:

• Source labour who are familiar with all the local building regulations

• Keep supply chains local to cut down on delivery times & transport costs

• Respond to the changing conditions on site

• Keep the standard of work up the whole way through the project

Since our construction partners are based in Kent, they also have a good understanding of how the local authorities work, from the planning process to community outreach. That means we can avoid all the delays and make sure we're fully compliant at every step.

We plan every single aspect of the build around the running of your care home, right from delivery times and work hours to noise management and safety barriers. We want to make progress clear, but disruption as minimal as possible, so residents can still do their thing while the transformation takes place.

When you choose Care Home Builders, you're not just hiring a contractor, you're partnering with a team that knows Kent really well and takes real pride in building care environments that are safe, of high quality & give you long-term value.
