Bradbury Electrical: Comprehensive Electrical Services for Glen Arun Care Home Expansion

Bradbury Electrical played a crucial role in the successful transformation of Glen Arun Care Home, a project that involved converting the facility from a 26-bedroom to a 54-bedroom care home. This ambitious expansion required careful planning, coordination, and a collaborative effort between various specialist contractors and in-house teams.

Key Contributions

Design and Planning: Bradbury Electrical was involved from the very start of the project, contributing to the design phase to ensure that the electrical systems were not only functional but also tailored to meet the unique requirements of a care home environment. This involved assessing the needs of both residents and staff to determine optimal layouts for containment, lighting, power, distribution, emergency lighting systems, CCTV, Fire alarm and other critical electrical infrastructure.
Electrical Installation: The Bradbury Electrical team carried out all the electrical installations in-house, ensuring that all systems met stringent safety standards and operational needs. This included:

Power supply upgrades to accommodate the increased demand due to the expanded number of bedrooms and additional facilities.
Lighting solutions designed to create a safe and welcoming environment for the residents while maintaining energy efficiency.
Emergency and backup systems to guarantee the safety and continuity of operations in case of power failures.

Collaboration with Specialist Contractors: A key element of the project was the integration of a nurse call system, which is essential in providing efficient and timely communication between residents and staff. Bradbury Electrical worked closely with specialist contractors to install and integrate this system seamlessly into the facility’s infrastructure, ensuring that it functioned flawlessly across all 54 rooms.
In-house Expertise: Throughout the entire project, Bradbury Electrical's in-house team took on the responsibility for managing and executing all aspects of the electrical work. This ensured consistency, control, and timely completion of the project. The team's deep understanding of both residential care home requirements and electrical systems made them the perfect fit for this expansion.
Timely Completion: The project was completed within the agreed timeline, which was essential to minimise disruption to the existing residents and staff at the care home. Bradbury Electrical’s ability to deliver high-quality work efficiently is a testament to their expertise and commitment to client satisfaction.

Outcome

The successful conversion of Glen Arun Care Home from a 26-bedroom to a 54-bedroom facility has significantly enhanced the quality of care provided to residents. The expanded space allows for improved services, while the upgraded electrical systems ensure a safe and comfortable environment for both residents and staff. The nurse call system integration provides peace of mind, enabling swift communication when assistance is needed.
