Sterile services and decontamination
Hygienic stainless steel furniture built for sterile service departments and decontamination units
HTM 01-01 compliant, decontamination-rated, UK manufactured. From individual workstations to complete sterile services department fit-out.
The challenge
Sterile service departments demand furniture that supports validated decontamination workflows and withstands the conditions of continuous instrument processing
HTM 01-01 and CQC inspection requirements mean every surface in your sterile services department must be specifiable, traceable, and built to withstand validated decontamination cycles. The divide between dirty and clean zones is not procedural guidance, it is a physical design requirement, built into the room layout and every piece of furniture within it.

Equipment your auditor expects to see
Every piece of Teknomek stainless steel furniture is designed and manufactured to meet the standards that govern your environment. Not as an afterthought - as a baseline.
WHTM 01-01 compliant
Designed to meet the surface, layout, and workflow requirements of Welsh Health Technical Memorandum 01-01 for sterile service departments and decontamination units. Dirty-to-clean zone separation is built into how we specify furniture layouts, not applied as an afterthought.
HTM compliant
Specification-matched to Health Technical Memorandum requirements for instrument decontamination environments in NHS and independent healthcare settings. We can supply documentation to support your quality management and audit requirements.
CQC inspection ready
Surface finishes, construction standards, and documentation to support Care Quality Commission inspection of decontamination facilities. Our furniture is specified to the standards CQC inspectors expect to see in a compliant sterile service environment.
Decontamination rated
Full-radius welds, sealed surfaces, and grade-appropriate stainless steel designed to withstand the thermal and chemical demands of continuous decontamination cycles. The same furniture that ships on day one should still pass your CQC inspection five years later.

Why Teknomek
What makes us the right supplier for sterile service departments
We have supplied hygienic stainless steel furniture to NHS sterile service departments and decontamination units since 1987. That means we understand WHTM 01-01 workflow requirements, dirty-to-clean zone separation, and the operational demands of high-throughput instrument decontamination from direct experience.
UK manufactured since 1987
We manufacture in our own Norfolk facility, giving us full control over quality, lead times, and product consistency. When you need a replacement part, a second phase of furniture, or a bespoke item to match an existing installation, we still have the specification on file and the capability to deliver it.
Specification support available
Not sure whether your environment requires 304L or 316L? Not certain which configuration supports your hygiene flow? Our team works through the specification with you before you commit to an order — so what arrives on site is right first time, without the cost and delay of returns or replacements.
ISO 9001 quality management
Our manufacturing process is independently audited and certified to ISO 9001. That means documented quality procedures, consistent product standards, and a paper trail you can reference in your own supplier audit documentation, relevant if you supply into BRCGS-audited retail chains.
One supplier, complete solution
From preparation tables and wash stations to changing room lockers, hygiene stations, and waste handling equipment, Teknomek supplies everything your food production facility needs from a single source. One purchase order, one delivery schedule, one point of contact, and a consistent specification throughout the building.
Supplying NHS sterile service departments since 1987
We have supplied furniture to sterile service departments and decontamination units operating under WHTM 01-01 and HTM requirements for nearly four decades. We understand workflow separation requirements, CQC audit expectations, and the operational demands of high-throughput instrument processing environments.
Bespoke sizing available
Food production facilities rarely have standard room dimensions. Where our standard range does not fit your space, we manufacture furniture to your exact dimensions and workflow requirements, at the same quality standard, from the same facility, with the same lead time commitment as our stock range.
Common questions about Teknomek and sterile service department equipment
Everything you need to know before specifying stainless steel furniture for your decontamination unit.
What stainless steel furniture is required for a WHTM 01-01 compliant sterile service department?
Welsh Health Technical Memorandum 01-01 requires sterile service department furniture to support validated decontamination workflows, maintain dirty-to-clean zone separation, and withstand the thermal and chemical demands of continuous instrument processing. Teknomek manufactures furniture to these requirements as a baseline, with 304L grade as standard and 316L specified for the most demanding decontamination environments.
Does Teknomek furniture meet HTM requirements for decontamination units?
Yes. Teknomek stainless steel furniture is specification-matched to Health Technical Memorandum requirements for instrument decontamination environments in NHS and independent healthcare settings. We can supply documentation to support your quality management system and CQC audit requirements - contact our team to confirm what is available for your specific products.
What stainless steel grade should I specify for sterile service department furniture?
304L grade covers the majority of sterile service department applications. 316L is recommended for environments where aggressive chemical disinfectants are used at high frequency or where thermal disinfection cycles create elevated corrosion risk. Our team will specify the correct grade for your decontamination protocols before you order.
Can Teknomek help with dirty-to-clean zone furniture specification for a decontamination unit?
Yes. Zone separation is fundamental to WHTM 01-01 compliance, and we understand how furniture layout, pass-through arrangements, and surface specification all contribute to maintaining the divide between dirty and clean zones. Contact our team with your room layout and workflow requirements and we will advise on the correct specification for each zone.
Can Teknomek manufacture bespoke furniture for sterile service departments?
Yes. Decontamination units rarely have standard room dimensions or standard workflow layouts. Where our standard range does not fit your space or workflow, Teknomek manufactures furniture to your exact room dimensions and operational requirements. Bespoke items are produced in our Norfolk facility to the same quality standards as our standard SSD range.
Is Teknomek furniture UK manufactured?
Yes. Teknomek has manufactured stainless steel furniture in our own Norfolk facility since 1987. UK manufacture gives us full control over quality, lead times, and product consistency, and means documented traceability for customers who need to evidence procurement for CQC inspection and NHS audit purposes.
What lead times should I expect for Teknomek SSD furniture?
Standard range items are typically available on short lead times from stock or near-stock. Bespoke and made-to-measure items vary depending on specification and volume — our team will confirm lead time at the point of quotation. For complete decontamination unit fit-outs, we recommend contacting us early in the procurement process so we can schedule production to meet your project programme.
