Manor Road care home

Hallmark Luxury Care Homes · Redbridge, Greater London

ProgrammeLate 2028Source checked28 Sept 2026Contract availabilityTo be qualified
RECOMMENDED FIRST MOVE

Email works@koriconstruction.com requesting the Manor Road/Redbridge commercial lead. Establish whether Hallmark’s development/design team or Kori’s subcontractor controls product approval.

Why this belongs in your brief

Kori’s 14 September construction update provides a recent, named route into a late-2028 programme. That makes specification and supplier-approval timing worth qualifying for a supply-led doorset business.

TARGET SCOPE

A defined doorset supply package, including project-specific fire/acoustic requirements, finishes, approved hardware and traceable handover records.

RELEVANT CAPABILITY

VLine’s data-pin approach and factory finishes offer concrete discussion points for Hallmark’s asset records and interior specification, if the project team values them.

Timing and buying window

Late 2028 is the published completion target, not a procurement date. Door selection may be governed by an existing operator standard well before installation.

Subject: Manor Road, Redbridge: doorset specification and supply route

Hello,

We are PAL, suppliers of VLine doorsets. We provide product-selection and technical support, with installation guidance and doorset records.

We would like to establish whether the operator has a fixed supplier standard, who holds the door schedule and when product approval is due. If alternatives can be considered, we can submit the relevant assembly evidence and finish options before detailed pricing.

Kind regards,
PAL / VLine

Whitford Gardens care home · Mitcham

Care UK | Construction | Spring 2028

Target scope

Doorset supply with clearly assigned responsibility for measurement, installation, ironmongery and final acceptance; technical support as agreed with the installer.

The Whitford Gardens announcement names Kori senior quantity surveyor Jack Stevenson and Care UK’s Jake Higgins. These roles provide a practical route to clarify the supply/installation split on a spring-2028 scheme.

First move

Use works@koriconstruction.com to request Jack Stevenson or the Whitford Gardens doorset buyer. Ask for Care UK’s specification approval route if the contractor cannot approve products.

Qualification questions

  • Are doorsets bought by Kori or by the joinery subcontractor?
  • Who checks opening dimensions and signs off the order schedule?
  • Is ironmongery supplied as part of the approved assembly?
  • What installer training or technical submission does the project require?
  • How will supply acceptance and installation acceptance be recorded separately?

Subject: Whitford Gardens: doorset supply and installation split

Hello,

We are PAL, suppliers of VLine doorsets. We provide product-selection and technical support, with installation guidance and doorset records.

Before offering products, we would like to confirm who buys the doorsets, who signs off opening sizes and hardware, and how supply and installation responsibilities are divided. If there is a relevant approval window, we can provide a focused technical submission and installer guidance.

Wenham Holt / Liss care home · Liss

Barchester Healthcare | Construction | 2028

Target scope

Specification-led doorset supply against a controlled door schedule and Barchester’s operator standards, including any architectural finish/acoustic requirements.

Kori’s September start announcement identifies a 2028 Barchester project with Holden & Lee and TDC Architects. It offers a route to establish who can approve the doorset design rather than assuming the contractor alone sets it.

First move

Email works@koriconstruction.com for the Liss project commercial/design lead. Ask which party, including the named design team and operator, controls the door schedule and approval.

Qualification questions

  • Who issues and revises the controlled door schedule?
  • Which Barchester standards or approved-product rules govern selection?
  • What acoustic, finish, glazing and hardware combinations are required?
  • Can technically compliant alternatives still be reviewed?
  • When must samples and evidence be accepted?

Catherine Grove · Deal

Boutique Care Homes | Construction | Late 2027

Target scope

A doorset supply/specification submission for the care home, with any retirement-bungalow doors treated as a separately defined scope.

The late-2027 Deal development has a named principal contractor, Apex, and operator Development Director Tom Duck. It is a distinct buying route from the Kori projects and should be qualified on its own terms.

First move

Contact Boutique at mail@boutiquecarehomes.co.uk for Tom Duck’s development team to establish operator standards and whether Apex or a subcontractor buys the doors. Use the separate Apex route once that buyer is confirmed.

Qualification questions

  • Who controls product approval and who places the doorset order?
  • Has the care-home package been awarded?
  • Are the retirement bungalows within the same procurement package?
  • What door-by-door fire, acoustic, security and finish requirements apply?
  • Is there time for a technical alternative to be reviewed without disrupting the programme?
