Fire Door Compliance for Hospitals and Healthcare
Sentinel Projects delivers fire door inspection, installation and remediation for hospitals and healthcare estates across Northampton, Cambridge, Oxford, London and the rest of the UK. We work in live clinical environments without closing wards, and we understand why compartmentation is not optional in a hospital. We are FireQual-qualified and BlueSky-certified.
Fire doors are mission-critical here
In most buildings, the fire strategy moves people out. In a hospital, many patients cannot be moved out, so the strategy relies on progressive horizontal evacuation: staff move patients to the next fire compartment and wait there in safety.
That only works if the compartments hold. Every fire door and every sealed penetration is part of keeping a ward safe while a fire is contained next door. A failed door is not a paperwork problem in a hospital. It is a clinical safety problem.
Work that keeps wards open
Closing a ward is rarely an option, so we plan around clinical operations:
- Phased works that keep departments running
- Out-of-hours scheduling for sensitive areas
- Infection-control-aware working, with containment and clean-down
- Coordination with your estates and infection-prevention teams
What we do for healthcare estates
- Inspection against HTM 05 firecode expectations, with a photographed report
- Installation of certified doorsets for wards, corridors and plant areas
- Remediation of failed doors, repaired where possible to avoid ward closures
- Fire stopping in risers, service voids and compartment lines
We work to the Health Technical Memorandum 05 firecode and to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
