Fire Protection for Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities

Covering all areas of fire protection in healthcare

Hospitals and clinical facilities are environments where safety cannot be compromised, and this is particularly true when it comes to fire protection. Whether planning new large-scale construction projects or managing essential refurbishment within active wards, fire safety solutions must be absolute, non-disruptive, and fully-certified. Sharpfibre is the specialist passive fire protection (PFP) partner for complex healthcare projects, providing services designed to protect patients, staff, and essential medical assets 24/7.

Fire protection for live occupied hospitals

Working within active wards and high-dependency units demands maximum sensitivity and strict adherence to protocols. Our experienced operatives specialise in integrating PFP solutions with minimal impact on patient care and daily operations.

Patient-Centric Approach: We maintain the utmost consideration for patients, adapting our workflow to minimise noise, disturbance, and visual impact, particularly in sensitive areas.
Zero Downtime: We manage complex constraints, working around critical systems such as live electricity and overcoming accessibility issues so that essential services remain operational.
Quiet and Efficient: We utilise specialist tools and techniques to install or retrofit fire doors, barriers and seals quickly and quietly, maintaining the integrity of existing compartmentation and firestopping systems.

Fire protection for new hospital projects

In large-scale healthcare construction, early engagement is key to structural safety, budget control, and achieving compliance efficiently. We integrate our PFP expertise into the design phase to prevent costly rework down the line.

Pre-Design Consultancy: Engaging early in the project lifecycle allows for effective risk management and planning, aligning the delivery of PFP solutions perfectly with the build schedule.
Structural Integrity: Installation of cementitious and intumescent coatings to safeguard the long-term integrity of the building frame.
Compliance Assurance: Guaranteeing that all clinical labs, treatment areas, and patient rooms meet the highest regulatory standards for fire containment and compartmentation.

Our experience

Our specialised PFP systems instantly contain the spread of flames, heat, and smoke, providing invaluable evacuation time and protecting critical assets.

It is phenomenal to see the progress that has been made on the rebuild since demolition was completed in March… What really impressed me was the level of communication and cooperation you have generated… What gave me confidence today was the quality of the build I saw – no evidence that build quality is being impaired by schedule yet…

David Wright Chief Engineer at National Grid

Sharpfibre’s involvement during the design development stage was invaluable in ensuring the buildings critical design performance requirements were fully satisfied and hence delivering the right solution to both the client and the construction team.
