What Trovex does

Trovex is a privately-held, family-owned British manufacturer of integrated hygienic interior systems for healthcare environments, headquartered and produced in Dereham, Norfolk. Its product family centres on the Hygipod range of prefabricated, pre-plumbed integrated plumbing systems (IPS) — including variants for clinical wash basins, sluice rooms, WC, shower, bed-head trunking (MSU), low-level ventilation, and anti-ligature applications (Safe and Tough) — complemented by Hygidoor PVC-encapsulated fire-rated and lead-lined doorsets, Hygiscreen internal windows, and PVC wall cladding ranges (Diamond, Gallery, Resilience, Essence). Underlying technology is PVC encapsulation of modular components combined with factory pre-assembly, including the proprietary SafeJoint hot-welded anti-ligature joint tested to DoH Environmental Design Guide Levels 1–4 for secure mental health environments.

The business operates a B2B specification-driven model: Trovex sells project-based solutions directly to NHS trusts, mental health facilities, and healthcare contractors via regional Project Consultants who engage architects and estates teams at the design stage, supported by a Select Installer Network for on-site delivery. Customers include major UK construction groups (Morgan Sindall, Bouygues Energies & Services, MTX, Chaplin Farrat) and NHS trusts such as King George Hospital, Royal Berkshire Hospital, and the Scunthorpe Community Diagnostics Centre. Pricing is bespoke and quote-based per project, with typical 3–4 week lead times after shop drawing sign-off, and Trovex maintains a 120+ resource technical library (BIM, CAD, NBS clauses) to anchor specification lock-in.

The company is privately funded with no external investment disclosed, employs 11–50 people, has operated for over 25 years, and expanded its Dereham manufacturing footprint in 2023 through new machinery, larger stock areas, and a dedicated delivery fleet. All products are UK-manufactured in-house, and Trovex carries multiple healthcare-specific certifications (BS476, EN13501, ISO 16000, DoH Environmental Design Guide) that are mandatory for NHS and secure mental health procurement. Its operating geography is exclusively the United Kingdom.
