Our Surgery Extension Is About to Begin

BACK TO MAIN INDEX

We’re delighted to let you know that Pinhoe Surgery has received full approval and funding to begin our long-awaited building extension. Work is due to start on 5 January 2026, and we’re very pleased to be moving forward.

A local company, Fifields, will be carrying out the construction. They will have a temporary site office in our car park, which will unfortunately reduce parking by five spaces during the project. The work is expected to finish by 28 August 2026.

What’s changing?

• A brand-new extension to create more space for patient care and to house our growing administrative team
• Replacement of all skylights to improve light and heat efficiency
• A full refurbishment of the current nursing suite, transforming it into purpose-built clinical rooms
• The project will take place in phases. First, the new extension will be built. Once that’s ready, we’ll connect it to the existing surgery so we can begin using the new rooms while the older areas are being updated.

Throughout the works, we’ll do everything we can to keep disruption to a minimum. We’ll keep you updated via our waiting rooms, website, Facebook page, and foyer notices. To help maintain privacy, frosted window film will be added to all ground-floor clinic areas during construction.

This extension has been many years in the making, and we’re thrilled to be improving the surgery for the benefit of our patients and the future of general practice. Thank you for your patience and understanding while the work is under way.
