Passive fire protection services for the healthcare sector
We provide comprehensive passive fire protection services to NHS and private healthcare providers across the UK, from major hospitals and GP surgeries to clinics, respite centres and care homes.
Keeping your staff and patients safe
The specialists at CMC Fire Stopping understand the unique fire safety challenges within healthcare environments and the critical importance of getting it right. That’s why patient safety, business continuity and strict regulatory compliance are at the heart of everything we do.
Our experienced team works alongside estates managers, facilities teams, contractors and trust directors to deliver high-quality fire protection solutions that are tailored, traceable and fully compliant with Health Technical Memoranda guidance and other UK building regulations.
Minimising disruption in live environments
Our team can work smoothly and compliantly within operational healthcare settings. Whether we’re carrying out fire stopping, remedial works or compartmentation surveys, we do so with minimal disruption to patients, staff and day-to-day services. Our engineers are DBS checked, trained in infection control protocols, and sensitive to the working practices of hospitals and care environments.
Fire stopping that protects vulnerable occupants
Our fire stopping solutions are designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke between wards, treatment rooms, corridors and service risers. We use fully tested systems to maintain the integrity of fire-resisting walls, floors and ceilings, helping to safeguard patients and staff whilst supporting safe evacuation strategies.
Fire doors built for healthcare environments
Through our in-house BM Trada certified manufacturer and installer, we provide fire doors that are robust, hygienic and compliant with all relevant fire safety standards. From patient room doors to high-traffic corridor doors, our installations are designed to withstand the demands of clinical settings. We also provide door inspections, maintenance and labelling systems to assist with long-term compliance and record-keeping.
Fire compartmentation for safer buildings
Fire compartmentation is critical in healthcare premises, where time is essential and occupants may be unable to self-evacuate. We’re here to carry out detailed fire compartmentation surveys, identify breaches, and offer actionable solutions to restore fire resistance. Our remedial works are thorough, clearly documented and delivered to the highest standards.
Structural steel protection for new builds and extensions
Where hospitals or care facilities include steel frame structures, we apply both reactive (intumescent) and non-reactive coatings to ensure structural integrity is maintained in the event of a fire. All work is carried out to specification, with full quality assurance and traceability.
