Healthcare Construction & Refurbishment Specialists

Delivering safe, low-carbon healthcare environments that minimise clinical disruption and protect patient safety across the UK.

Healthcare facilities are more than just buildings; they are critical environments that must be safe, sterile, sustainable, and delivered with absolute certainty.

At Stepnell, we are a trusted construction partner to NHS Trusts, private healthcare operators, and community foundations across the UK. We understand that healthcare projects often take place in complex, live environments where patient safety and operational continuity are paramount.

Over the last four years, we have delivered over 48 healthcare schemes with a combined value of £89m. What sets Stepnell apart is not just what we build, but how we build it.

Chesterfield Wellbeing Hub

“It has been a pleasure to work with Stepnell, the team from start to finish were great to work with, taking a proactive approach on the design and build of the project.

The team pushed for sustainability, which was really refreshing for a contractor to be so passionate about sustainability. It was great for the team to work in a collaborative way, getting involved with events outside the project, which was an opportunity for the teams to work together for a good cause.”

 

Natalie Sarabia-Johnston, Director and Founder, Southgate & Sarabia Architects

Berrows House, University of Worcester

“The University of Worcester has worked with Stepnell on a number of projects since they were appointed to our Medium Works Contractor Framework. This includes recently completing our fantastic new Elizabeth Garrett Anderson building on our Severn Campus. Stepnell has demonstrated it can work collaboratively and innovatively to deliver what the University believes will be an outstanding teaching facility for the future healthcare and medical professionals.”

Northampton General Hospital, Refurbishment Works

“Stepnell has completed a number of projects for us at Northampton General Hospital. They have always planned their working around the vitally important day-to-day running of the hospital so as not to cause any disruption to, or have any negative impact on our services. With regular communication each project has been planned and completed to work in harmony with our teams.”

 

Tony O'Donovan, Capital Project Manager - Northampton General Hospital

Rowley Regis Hospital, Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust

“Stepnell added value from the outset through early survey access under a PCSA, enabling design development to run in parallel and accelerating programme. Communication was excellent throughout, and their collaborative approach gave us the confidence to extend the contract to additional works. I would have no hesitation recommending them.”

 

Vijay Droch, Estates Capital Projects Manager, Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust

Bluebell Ward, Walton Hospital

“Stepnell’s proactive engagement from the outset made a tangible difference — identifying risks early, supporting cost transparency, and ensuring confidence in the delivery strategy.”
