Contractor Krol Corlett has secured a £6m contract to deliver a new single-storey 36-bed care home within the grounds of Parkhaven Trust’s existing Maghull estate.
The 20,000 square foot development, which will provide specialist nursing care, includes 13 car parking spaces and sensory gardens within the wider 36-acre Parkhaven estate on Liverpool Road South.
“This is a very sensitive build, given that there are three operational facilities on the estate, and we’re proud to have been selected,” said Jack Halewood, Construction Manager at Krol Corlett.
The building, designed by Condy Lofthouse, is of traditional brick and block build on an insulated pre-cast concrete slab, with timber truss roof. Bedrooms have ensuite facilities and a range of digital technologies to enhance service user and staff experience.
Preparatory work has now commenced on site, with the build set to complete mid-autumn 2026.
Commenting on the appointment, Kim Crowe, Chief Executive at Parkhaven Trust said:
“We needed a contractor with a track record in our sector and, as importantly, an understanding of our particular needs as an operational site providing sensitive care. Krol Corlett’s construction management plan takes great effort to accommodate our operational needs and we’re pleased to have them on board. This is a replacement for the building that we currently occupy on Deyes Lane and will provide state-of-the-art facilities for our service users and staff.”
Krol Corlett’s team has worked on multiple care home developments across the region, including recently at Raby Hall for Wirral Autistic Society.
The project manager for the scheme is Rider Levitt Bucknall. Other professionals include Booth King (structures), and NJSR (principal designer). P4 Planning secured the scheme’s consent.
Parkhaven Trust has provided care services on its estate on Liverpool Road South since 1888 and operates three other care facilities from the site – Parkhaven Court, the Willow Centre and The Beeches.
