A delicate project completed with precision and care – redecorating at Bupa Cromwell private hospital
Some projects require more than just skill and experience. Working in a fully operational hospital is one of them – where discretion, organisation and sensitivity are essential, because every action can impact the well-being and comfort of patients.
That’s exactly what NC Development needed when they approached us at IGNAS. They were looking for a trusted team of Commercial Painting Contractors to carry out a major painting and decorating project at Bupa Cromwell Hospital in Kensington. We were proud to be chosen – and completed the job with commitment, empathy and the highest standards of craftsmanship.

Painting in a sensitive environment
The project involved redecorating the entire third floor of the hospital, including 12 patient rooms on the children’s ward, as well as common areas and corridors. From day one, it was clear this would be no ordinary decorating job.
Our goal was not only to deliver a clean, fresh and safe space – but to do so without disrupting hospital operations or disturbing patients. That meant every decision – from materials to scheduling – had to be carefully thought through.
Quiet, clean and efficient execution
A team of seven experienced decorators supported by a dedicated project manager worked in close coordination with both NC Development and the hospital staff. Every day, we made sure our presence was almost invisible – but our results unmistakable.
We followed strict hygiene protocols required for medical settings, including:
- Dust containment systems
- Daily cleaning routines
- Air quality monitoring
- Use of low-VOC, hospital-grade paints – odourless, safe and environmentally friendly
All work was completed without delays, without noise, and without any interference to hospital operations.
What we delivered
The project ran over three weeks, and included:
- Painting and plastering of 12 patient rooms on the children’s ward
- Full refresh of heavily used corridors
- Ongoing progress reports and quality checks for NC Development
- Cleanliness and dust control monitoring
- Coordination with hospital staff to ensure maximum safety at all times


Words from our client – Ray Cairns, Project Manager at NC Development
“During my time as a project manager with NC Development, I had the pleasure of working with the highly professional and dedicated team at Ignas Ltd.
Two projects stood out in particular: the restoration of a Grade II listed home in Hampstead Heath, and the full decoration of the third-floor ward at Bupa Cromwell Hospital in Kensington – including 12 medical suites.
Ignas are true professionals – I would recommend them above any other company in the business.”
The result? Calm, cleanliness and a very happy client
We completed the project ahead of schedule, strictly following the agreed timeline. Throughout the works, there were no disruptions to hospital operations – and the final outcome exceeded expectations. The client appreciated our attention to detail, professional approach and exceptional finish.
