Project update from one of our latest large-scale laboratory fit-out projects for an industrial processing client.

This high-spec facility will house multiple laboratories and needs some really TECHY kit to support the client’s needs. Each lab requires specialist coordination across services, infrastructure and equipment.

The building has now been fully stripped out, with multiple trades on site working under the direction of our contracts team.

A recent site meeting ensured all specialist contractors are aligned with the technical requirements, including:

• Bespoke HVAC system – working closely with the client to calculate precise environmental requirements
• Fume extraction – installation of 7 industrial fume cupboards to support safe laboratory operations
• Specialist Gases – including Nitrogen, Argon, Helium and Carbon Monoxide
• Electrical infrastructure – designed to support 6 new laboratories and associated equipment

We’re also installing high-performance TopLab Plus Align worktops to meet the durability and chemical resistance demands of the environment.

Looking forward to sharing the completed facility soon.

We’ve seen the GOOD, THE BAD AND THE REALLY UGLY!

Most mistakes aren’t design flaws — they’re completely avoidable.

• Poor ventilation specs.
• Layouts that don’t work in practice.
• Services that can’t support the equipment.

And in many cases, these issues only come to light after the build has started — when fixes are expensive and disruptive.

In our latest guide:
‘8 Laboratory Fit Out Mistakes to Avoid’ we break down the issues that still catch organisations out — and how to avoid them with the right approach from the outset.

If you’re planning a lab project, this could save you significant cost and rework.

School Refurbishment Planning is Underway for This Summer

Our education refurbishment team is already planning ahead to deliver high-quality upgrades for schools and colleges during the summer holidays.

Careful planning is essential for summer projects. Most rely on their laboratories being fully operational during term time and there is high demand for work to be completed before term starts.

Our approach includes:
🔹 Detailed early and scheduling to keep projects on track
🔹 Programmes tailored to each school’s specific timeline and requirements
🔹 Close coordination with clients and suppliers
🔹 A structured delivery process to ensure a smooth and stress-free refurbishment

📅 Take a look at our project timeline below to see the key stages involved in delivering a successful summer refurbishment project.

🔬 British Science Week 2026

From 6–15 March 2026, British Science Week returns to celebrate , , and across the UK — inspiring the next generation to explore where STEM could take them.

This year’s Smashing Stereotypes campaign is now live, featuring eight new professionals who challenge outdated ideas of what a scientist “looks like” or how a science career begins. With over 40 stories spanning chefs, product designers, fitness professionals and more, the campaign powerfully demonstrates that science is for everyone — regardless of background or career path.

Explore the resources here:

Local Inspiration – Manchester
Here in the North West, the Faculty of Science and Engineering at The University of Manchester is launching the celebrations with a FunLab Trafford Centre Takeover on 7–8 March at the Trafford Centre.

Families can explore, play and discover with free hands-on activities — from meeting robots and handling real dinosaur bones to taking part in exciting experiments designed to spark curiosity and creativity.

There’s also the opportunity to hear from renowned physicist Brian Cox during British Science Week as part of the ATOM Festival of Science & Technology in Abingdon-on-Thames — an inspiring reminder of where a passion for science can lead.

At Klick, we see how well-designed science laboratories can help break down barriers and encourage engagement in STEM subjects. By creating specialist learning environments that support experimentation, collaboration and innovation, we’re proud to play a small part in helping more young people see themselves as future scientists.

KEY PROJECT MILESTONE ACHIEVED

The new mezzanine floor for Analytical Services International (ASI) is now complete — and the transformation is impressive.

Watch our timelapse video below to see the construction stages and how this additional level has unlocked valuable new space to support lab activities.

The design of the has been central to expanding ASI’s analytical facilities. After identifying the potential within a double-height storeroom, our Contracts Manager proposed a structural solution that would significantly increase usable space without extending the building footprint.

As Principal Contractor, Klick Laboratories has managed:
• Coordination with the structural engineer, Building Control and HSE
• Steel fabrication and detailed mezzanine floor design
• Preparation of reinforced concrete pads to provide a stable structural base
• Construction of the mezzanine and stairways
• New access integration to the modernised offices, canteen and breakout areas

The new first floor creates space for an admin area and dedicated welfare facilities for laboratory staff — another major step towards delivering ASI’s enhanced analytical capabilities.

If you’re exploring ways to increase laboratory capacity without new-build expansion, mezzanine solutions can deliver significant value.
