Foundations



New foundations being dug inside the rear part of the surgery. This is the single storey part at the back, nearest the car park.  It is the original part of the building and dates back to 1971.  It is necessary to dig the foundations to support the new sound proof walls and solid floors.

Phase 2

Our move last weekend went well.  We moved all appointments to the Windlesham branch surgery on Friday afternoon.  This allowed us to close the building.  Lightwater Removals moved the furniture for us, most of which has gone upstairs.  We spent Saturday moving the phone and computer servers to their new home.


We now have three consulting rooms on the ground floor.  These are mixed use at present but eventually will be used just by the practice nurses.  We are using two rooms on the first floor for consulting, this is just for the next 2 months.




The front ramp is in use and allows disabled access to the building for the first time in nearly 40 years!  We are waiting for a glass automatic door to be installed to complete the access improvements.  There is an identical ramp at the rear of the building to assist patients arriving by car.

There is still a lot of work to do, even in the part of the building we now occupy but we hope you get an idea of what it will look like.  Thank you for your patience so far!
