Healthcare Facilities

Dedicated to the safety and wellbeing of patients, staff and visitors, RiskFire’s passive fire protection services are designed to safeguard the healthcare sector. With a proven track record of delivering high-quality fire protection solutions, we understand the unique challenges faced by healthcare facilities and provide tailored services to ensure full compliance with all relevant regulations and standards.

Committed to supporting NHS and healthcare teams, RiskFire’s expert operatives have extensive experience working in live environments and sensitive wards across multiple sites. We help keep staff, patients and assets safe while delivering essential, safety-critical passive fire protection works.

Our specialist knowledge allows RiskFire to support local and national organisations across the UK. We take a fully collaborative approach, delivering third-party accredited passive fire protection solutions on time and on budget.

Healthcare Settings Challenges

From hospitals and clinics to dental practices and veterinary facilities, healthcare (NHS) environments demand exceptional care and precision. These are settings where patient wellbeing, clinical operations, and hygiene take priority — and where even the smallest disruption can have significant consequences.

Working in live healthcare buildings means managing sensitive conditions, infection control, and operational continuity—all while delivering high-quality passive fire protection works safely and efficiently.

At RiskFire, we understand the unique demands of healthcare settings. Before any work begins, our teams meet with the estates and facilities teams to plan the project around infection control requirements, operational schedules, and patient safety. Work areas are clearly defined with professional signage and discreet barriers to ensure the safety of all building users.

Our operatives use specialist tack mats and temporary containment systems such as ZipWall to maintain strict cleanliness and control dust and debris. Every member of our team is trained to work sensitively in patient-facing environments — maintaining professionalism, quiet operations, and clean-as-you-go standards. When necessary, we schedule work outside of clinical hours to minimise disruption. Our approach ensures that essential fire safety improvements are completed seamlessly, without compromising the comfort, care, or safety of those who matter most.

Care Homes And Assisted Living

At RiskFire, our work in care homes and assisted living communities is among the most rewarding we do. We've supported multiple sites across the UK, delivering fire door replacements, remediation programmes, fire stopping, and cavity barrier installations.

With many schemes operating under a ‘stay-put’ policy, effective passive fire protection is critical. We work sensitively in residents’ homes, accommodating last-minute changes and maintaining excellent communication throughout every project. Courtesy is a core expectation within our team, built on more than 25 years of experience working in occupied and vulnerable environments.

Addressing the Unique Nature of Healthcare Buildings

Prevention is always better than cure, especially in healthcare environments where full evacuation is rarely practical. Modern hospitals and care centres typically adopt progressive horizontal evacuation — moving occupants through fire-resisting barriers into safe refuge areas.

This approach only works when compartmentation and fire stopping systems are correctly installed and maintained. RiskFire ensures that these critical protections perform as intended, enabling safe evacuation pathways and effective fire containment.

Hospital Buildings

We work in multiple hospitals each year, supporting some of the most complex and demanding built environments in the UK. Many NHS sites combine new and historic buildings on the same campus, each presenting unique challenges for fire stopping and compartmentation.

Hospital fire doors also require particular attention. Heavy traffic, bed movement and equipment use can quickly lead to wear, leaf gaps and threshold issues.
