Working with

We work with a number of clients (including NHS Trusts in London and the South East) on a regular basis, invited back to tender again and again. Our track record of delivering on time and to budget speaks for itself – for further details, read our case studies below.

We understand the difficulties of working within live clinical and residential environments, and are experienced in mitigating risk to ensure each project runs smoothly, with minimal disruption to staff, patients, residents, and other occupiers.

Our expert team of professionally trained, experienced contractors includes a dedicated project manager and onsite foreman, who work collaboratively with your staff, keeping all stakeholders informed and updated with key information.

With a pragmatic approach to problem-solving, we work with you to address any challenges, presenting solutions rather than obstacles.

We are Experts in Commercial

Installation, Testing and Service

Our experienced team offers a full design-to-installation service, but we also work with main contractors where required, co-ordinating electrical, fire and access system work centrally.

Infrastructure projects often mean subcontracting half a dozen companies. It’s more cost-efficient and effective to employ an experienced specialist which can ‘do it all’, such as Barton Knight."
