Secure Mental Health Facility Construction

CM Healthcare Construction (CMHC) specialises in delivering secure, anti-ligature mental health facilities designed to provide a safe environment for both patients and staff. This project focused on the construction of high-security seclusion rooms, anti-ligature door systems and risk-reducing interiors, ensuring full compliance with NHS and CQC guidelines.

Specialist Anti-Ligature Construction

Every aspect of this project was designed with anti-ligature principles in mind to reduce self-harm risks while maintaining a secure and therapeutic healthcare environment. Our construction approach included:

- Anti-ligature fixtures, including taps, door handles and light fittings

- Secure, impact-resistant furniture designed for high-risk environments

- Reinforced wall finishes with tamper-proof coatings

- Soft-impact flooring to enhance safety and minimise injury risks

Seclusion Room Construction

CMHC developed NHS-compliant seclusion rooms to provide a controlled and secure space for patient care, integrating features such as:

- High-strength, tamper-proof vision panels for enhanced observation

- Secure access-controlled doors with emergency override systems

- Specialist acoustic panelling to minimise noise disturbances

- Temperature-controlled ventilation for improved patient comfort

Anti-Ligature Door Systems

Doors are a crucial element in secure mental health environments. CMHC installed industry-leading anti-ligature door systems designed to enhance safety while maintaining controlled access:

- Alarmed anti-ligature doors for high-risk areas
