Hospitals and care homes. Ward-by-ward phasing and infection control throughout.
CERTIFIED INSTALLER

What we usually find
Doors propped open on busy wards, ironmongery failing through constant use, and certification paperwork long since lost. We work around patient schedules and maintain infection-control protocols at all times.
How we deliver
Ward-by-ward programmes phased around patient movements. All operatives carrying appropriate site-safety training. Infection-control sheeting and clear-up standard practice.

The regulations are the same; the buildings, occupants and constraints are not. These are the things we plan for from day one.
Progressive evacuation
Healthcare fire strategies rely on compartment doors holding while patients are moved — so every door matters.
Infection control
Dust sheeting, clean working methods and full clear-up, agreed with your infection-control lead.
Bed-width doors
Unequal-pair and wide doorsets that let beds and trolleys through while keeping their fire rating.
Hold-open devices
Doors held open safely on alarm-linked devices instead of wedges, so wards can work and doors still close.
Residents and patients first
Programmes planned around care routines, mealtimes and visiting, with staff briefed every day.
Evidence for inspectors
A complete record of works ready for fire officers, regulators and your own governance teams.
Questions we hear most from clients in healthcare.
Healthcare buildings often use progressive horizontal evacuation — moving people into a neighbouring compartment rather than out of the building. That only works if compartment fire doors close and hold.
Tell us about the building and we will call you back within one working day. Surveys are free for programmes of ten doors or more.
