About Cleanroom Solutions
THE GUARDTECH GROUP’s turnkey design & construction specialists Cleanroom Solutions are providers of bespoke controlled environments for large-scale manufacturing applications.
Installing expansive cleanrooms that balance the operational requirement for volume production with the compliance demands of high-specification controlled environments, Cleanroom Solutions have a legacy of delivering high-performance facilities for clients in a wide range of industries.
TECHNICAL EXPERTISE GUARANTEED
Cleanroom Solutions is founded on the principles of detailed technical consultation; deeply understanding client requirement and challenges whilst presenting a range of options from best practice to value-engineered solutions.
A complete turnkey approach to delivery, with tight project management, detailed design and comprehensive documentation ensures that clients feel well supported, valued and empowered to construct facilities that will meet the demands of their process and stand the test of time.
A truly collaborative experience which results in a mutually beneficial long-term partnership.
2D & 3D Modelling
CLEANROOM SOLUTIONS’ in-house Design team consists of specialist 2D (AutoCAD) and 3D (SolidWorks) Engineers; led by Directors with more than 100 years’ combined experience in the sector, their comprehensive design offering includes:
- General arrangement layouts; structural, mechanical & electrical
- Process flow diagrams
- Elevations and sectional drawings
- HVAC P&ID, ductwork schematics, lighting layouts and wiring diagrams
- Pressure cascade diagrams
- Furniture & equipment layouts
- 3D models and animations
- Virtual reality facility walk-throughs
BIM
THE CLEANROOM SOLUTIONS team are heavily invested in introducing exciting new technology to support client outcomes with the most expansive design process possible.
This led to the recent investment and incorporation of Revit – a digital platform for Building Information Modelling (BIM), in which the building is a live element which contains intelligent information.
CDM Regulations
THE CONSTRUCTION (Design & Management) Regulations (CDM 2015) are the main set of regulations for managing the health, safety and welfare of construction projects.
CDM applies to all construction work and includes new-build controlled environments, as well as demolition, refurbishment, extensions, conversions, repair and maintenance of cleanrooms and laboratories.
CFD
COMPUTATIONAL Fluid Dynamics (CFD) enables airflow within controlled environments to be simulated during the design phase, providing visualisation, insight and guidance into:
- Optimised airflow configuration, reducing dead spots and increasing uniformity and coverage
- Temperature and humidity mapping throughout the space, relating to heat sources within the process room and their relation with conditioned supply air
- Reducing energy consumption by evaluating air changes required per hour
- Supply diffuser and exhaust vent positions
- Appropriate sensor positioning
- Comparative flow distribution for smoke test validation and room recovery testing
Commissioning
THE COMMISSIONING phase begins post-construction and concentrates on qualifying all systems and their functionality.
For a Pharmaceutical application this will form part of the Installation (IQ) and Operational Qualification (OQ). For all other industries a standard commissioning plan will be drafted and test certificates will be produced alongside a detailed Operational & Maintenance (O&M) manual.
Consultation
DURING an initial consultation with Cleanroom Solutions, you will be dealing with dedicated industry professionals who pride themselves on listening, understanding and unearthing your exact needs and requirements, prior to advising on and recommending a solution, or more commonly a variety of solutions.
Whether you have a fully developed brief, a URS (User Requirement Specification) or just a broad idea of what you need to achieve and the space available to you, Cleanroom Solutions support you to derive the best value solution for your application; balancing specification with budget whilst considering the restrictions imposed by the host building.
Decontamination
CLEANROOM SOLUTIONS have embraced the next level of design technology by incorporating 3D laser scanning into the beginning of their process as a detailed room information data capture.

A leading Surrey-based Defence contractor said: "The cleanroom was good value for money when contrasted with offerings from other suppliers – and the final quality of the cleanroom was very good.
“There was excellent communication from the Project Manager of the cleanroom delivery throughout the build. Any problems were dealt with very well and professionally handled, with a lot of flexibility shown whenever possible. Particular thanks to Arran Williams for this at-times challenging build.
“Guardtech were very accommodating of unusual designs and requests, there was nothing too big or too small that they couldn’t deliver. That level of flexibility cannot be said for most other suppliers.”

5 star reviewDecember 01, 2023Susi Osborne, Manufacturing Director at Emergex Vaccines, said: “Thank you to the Decon Team for their work on our Level 4 – Intense Facility. This first clean also involved in-house training and Sarah and Lee helped enormously by doing the pre-reads prior to coming on site, meaning that we could start straight away on practical training.
“Their professional approach was fantastic. When I went into the cleanroom I had to smile – the facility was sparkling. They put everything back where it belonged and really showed how much care they were taking of our facility. They make such a great team – so hard working, great sense of humour and just willing to be so flexible. It was a pleasure to work with them. I really feel I have the A Team now to do our important, major cleans.”

Dean Powell, Group MEP Director at COEL, said: “COEL were employed by Sense Biodetection to deliver their new Cambridge facility which would enable their requirement for enhanced capabilities. Having worked with Guardtech previously we felt they were the obvious choice to deliver the specialist cleanrooms.
“From the outset Guardtech proved to be invaluable, offering both their experience, technical knowledge and showed a real willingness to engage with the project design team. Throughout the design phase the team worked with the client to design a facility that not only met their design brief but also functioned efficiently and took into consideration flexibility for future expansion.
“I was impressed with Guardtech’s delivery of the cleanrooms – the programme was tight and despite changes in the client’s requirements, they managed to incorporate these changes and still deliver the project on time and to an exceptional standard. I look forward to working with Guardtech on future projects.”

Peter Stratton, Director at Storvik FM Limited, said: “Our client, a South West based Plasma Technology business, had an urgent requirement for an ISO5 extension to an existing ISO7 cleanroom, in order to expand their processing capability. Customer demand dictated that time was of the essence, and there was only a 12-week window during which the ISO5 cleanroom could be designed and built.
“Following a late Friday afternoon phone call to Guardtech, the response was immediate and a survey was undertaken the following Monday, with the initial design complete within a week. The materials and equipment used to complete the build in such a tight timeframe were selected by Guardtech based on availability, suitability and cost, allowing the cleanroom to be built and commissioned within the required period, and within budget despite a couple of small setbacks. Overall, the Senior Applications Engineer responsible for the site was happy with the performance and outcome.”

Mark Wheeler interview – Guardtech Group restructure delivers ‘five-star service’
THE CLEANROOM design & build industry is faring well. Unlike many sectors, controlled environment construction hasn’t been torn apart by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Laboratory shortages continue to prevail, control is now at the forefront of people’s minds and the need for appropriate ventilation and critical workspaces has become more important than ever before.
After acquiring another well regarded construction company in Cleanroom Solutions, the Directors at Guardtech Cleanrooms realised there was an opportunity to not only continue growing their business, but to compartmentalise all the different aspects of their offering to ensure their clients received the best possible experience in dealing with them.
From this, the Guardtech Group was born – made up of Guardtech Cleanrooms (modular builds), Cleanroom Solutions (turnkey construction projects), Isopod Rapid Cleanrooms and CleanCube Mobile Cleanrooms.
The final piece of the jigsaw was the creation of Isoblok Pre-Fab Cleanrooms – a business which will continue to be developed over the coming years.
Mark Wheeler, the Guardtech Group’s Commercial Director, believes the move towards five clear, individual businesses will have a massive impact in helping his teams deliver excellent results for their customers going forward.
“It’s about growth, it’s about opportunity and it’s about delivering the best possible service to all our different types of clients in the diverse range of industries we cover,” he says. “Five distinct divisions all delivering a five-star service. That’s not to say we won’t continue to collaborate and pool resources across the companies, but this restructure provides a mechanism to differentiate between the variety of products and solutions that the Guardtech Group deliver, whilst celebrating the joint identity and culture that is at the heart of all these delivery formats.
“The Guardtech Group is a collective of long-serving industry professionals that embrace problem-solving, innovative thinking and embody a determination to deliver the highest quality outcomes for a range of valued clients across the Life Science industries.”
Mr Wheeler explains how “at the heart of every decision the group makes” is their newly established GUARD Charter, which promotes the core values of: Guide, Understand, Adapt, Respond and Deliver.
“Each business within the group, and every employee working for Guardtech, is held accountable against this charter,” he continues. “We guide them to embody the values that have made our group strong over its history.”
Guardtech Cleanrooms will cater specifically for the modular cleanroom market, while
CleanCube Mobile Cleanrooms will continue to provide portable solutions for business all over the world.
Isopod Rapid Cleanrooms offers a quicker, more flexible and cost-effective alternative for clients – including the option for ‘flat-pack’ delivery and self-assembly installation.
Isoblok Pre-Fab Cleanrooms will be focused on pre-configured ‘plug and play’ cleanroom units and pods constructed offsite, while Cleanroom Solutions will deliver larger scale turnkey construction builds.
Mr Wheeler explains how Guardtech have grown “organically” over the past 20 years – and in that time, particularly recent years, product development and innovation had become core tenets of the firm’s philosophy.
“Those innovations have taken on a life of their own,” he adds, “developing in a way that they’ve become big enough to support their own divisions. We felt that this restructure was the clearest route to show our customers that there is a distinct outline in the way each element of the Group is run, yet with some central themes. These derive from the GUARD Charter I mentioned previously.”
Despite the restructure, the key elements of a Guardtech project will always remain the same.
“Across all the divisions, our approach is consistent,” says Mr Wheeler. “Client-focused problem-solving. With any of the businesses, we’re always looking to deliver all the values that the GUARD Charter embodies.
“We’re tackling different types of construction using the same quality standpoint and intellectual property. We wanted to compete with what was out there in the market without giving up the quality mark that’s a key component of our heritage modular builds.
“It was vital to us that Isopod and CleanCube enhanced the brand and did nothing to compromise it. The focus is on quality – we simply aren’t prepared to risk what we’ve established over 20 years of building quality cleanrooms.”
