Fibre Construction Wins Civic Trust Design Award for Wakefield Dental Practice Refurbishment
Fibre Construction is proud to announce we’ve won the Civic Trust Design Award for Best Refurbishment. The award recognises our work on the Yorkshire Dental Practice in Westgate, Wakefield.
An Honour from Wakefield Civic Society
The award celebrates our work on the Yorkshire Dental Practice in Westgate, Wakefield, a project that transformed a former pub into a modern dental suite.
The Wakefield Civic Society presents this award to recognise projects that enhance the local environment through quality design and careful craftsmanship. Our refurbishment stood out for its ability to balance the building’s heritage with the needs of a contemporary dental practice.
Kevin Trickett, President of the Wakefield Civic Society, shared the value of such projects:
“The society’s design awards are intended to recognise good design – be it in architecture or planning, but we also look at the quality of execution – the choice of materials, the colour palette and the overall finish. We’re looking for projects that ‘go the extra mile’, that rise above the everyday and commonplace.”

For us, this award is a proud achievement. It reflects our team’s dedication to bringing new life to old spaces—respecting their history while adapting them for today.
Refurbishment with Purpose: Yorkshire Dental Practice
The Yorkshire Dental Practice in Westgate wasn’t always a dental practice. It began life as a pub—a social hub with a very different purpose. Our challenge was to turn this well-known local building into a state-of-the-art dental suite without losing its character.
We began by preserving key heritage features, including original structural elements that speak to the building’s past. At the same time, we reimagined the layout to create bright, efficient treatment rooms and welcoming patient areas.
Functional upgrades were essential. We strengthened the building’s core, improved accessibility, and installed modern electrical and plumbing systems. Yet, we carefully selected finishes and design elements that respected the building’s traditional aesthetic.
The result is a space that blends old and new. It offers the style and functionality needed for a modern dental practice while keeping its connection to the past.
