Care home refurbishment that improve CQC ratings & boost occupancy
Helping care providers create homes that support staff, impress inspectors, and attract residents.
"Their experienced team handled everything with care, precision, and attention to detail."
Claire Stanley, Head of Estates Active Care Group
Outdated care environments can quietly drain resources, affect staff morale, and make it harder to meet today’s expectations.
Many UK care providers face challenges with low occupancy, staff retention, and meeting CQC compliance standards — all while trying to remain financially sustainable. Outdated care environments increase running costs, reduce staff satisfaction, and make it harder to attract residents.
At LUMY, we specialise in refurbishments for care homes, supported living, and specialist healthcare environments. Whether you're looking to improve safety, modernise spaces, or prepare for an inspection, we plan and deliver projects that work around your residents, staff, and routines.
Our phased approach allows essential upgrades to happen without compromising care or creating unnecessary stress. From first consultation to final handover, we manage everything, so your team can stay focused on what matters most.
We are known for precise craftsmanship, clear communication, and long-term results that keep our customers coming back for future projects.
Care sector refurbishments tailored to your budget, timeline and goals
From minor upgrades to full-scale renovations, our services are shaped by the unique needs of the care sector. Whether you’re looking to create safer, more sustainable spaces or adapt environments for dementia or neurological care, we bring specialist knowledge and practical solutions that stand the test of time. Every service is designed to support better outcomes for residents, staff, and operators alike.
Sustainable refurbishments
We help care providers cut energy use, reduce long-term costs, and improve everyday living through upgrades like LED lighting, efficient heating, and durable, low-maintenance materials. We also minimise waste, reuse where possible, and work with suppliers who share our commitment to sustainable construction. 
Dementia friendly spaces
We design and deliver environments that support residents living with dementia — using clear wayfinding, calming layouts, and strong visual contrasts to improve safety and reduce confusion. From corridor refurbishments to adapted bathrooms, every detail is considered to make daily life easier and more comfortable. 
Neurological care environments
We create environments that support people with complex neurological conditions — using adaptable spaces, durable finishes, and designs that reduce overstimulation and support sensory needs. Whether it's reconfiguring bedrooms or upgrading therapy areas, we focus on safety, accessibility, and long-term functionality. 
Complete care refurbishments
Whether it’s a one-off project or part of a planned programme across multiple homes, we deliver well-managed, compliant works — coordinating all trades from start to finish across bedrooms, bathrooms, staff areas and more, while keeping care services running safely and smoothly. 
Safety & compliance works
We deliver fully compliant electrical and fire safety works that keep care settings safe, efficient, and inspection-ready. From LED lighting and EICRs to fire alarms, PAT testing and extinguisher servicing, we help you stay on top of compliance and meet essential safety standards. 
External & structural upgrades
We deliver internal and external improvements that help care providers make better use of their space. From structural alterations, extensions and bespoke joinery to access ramps, roof repairs and landscaped gardens, our work is practical, well-managed, and designed to support long-term use.

Our approach to safe and sustainable care home renovations
No two care environments are the same — but they all demand the same thing from a refurbishment partner: absolute reliability. That means delivering on time, working discreetly in live settings, and planning every stage of the job around your team, your routines, and your residents. The projects that follow show how we’ve delivered just that. From phased projects with zero bed loss to fast-tracked upgrades scheduled around inspections, each one reflects our understanding of what’s at stake when you choose to invest in your space.

Our Process
Our step-by-step approach to stress-free projects
From first consultation to final handover, we manage every stage of your project with minimal disruption to your team and operations. Our structured process is built on deep sector knowledge, safety best practices, and full compliance with relevant regulations, so you can focus on running your business while we handle everything else.
Step 01
Understanding your environment and operational needs
We start by learning how your site operates — its routines, priorities, and compliance requirements. Our plans are tailored to your setting and aligned with your team from the outset.
Step 02
Planning and compliance-driven project management
A dedicated point of contact coordinates all trades and keeps you informed throughout. Our structured planning keeps timelines, safety protocols, and inspections tightly managed.
Step 03
Carrying out works without disruption
Our teams work respectfully on live sites, scheduling around your routines and following strict hygiene and safety protocols. We keep disruption to an absolute minimum at all times.
Step 04
Tailored handover and ongoing support
At handover we ensure all compliance documentation is in order and your team is confident in the finished space. We remain on hand for follow-on works and ongoing support.
