Active Fire Protection for Hospitals & Healthcare Buildings

Compliance, Design & Installation | All Points Fire

Hospitals and healthcare buildings demand the highest standards of fire safety. With vulnerable occupants, complex layouts, and critical life-safety systems, active fire protection must be robust, reliable, and fully compliant. At All Points Fire, we specialise in active fire protection systems for hospitals and healthcare environments, delivering expert design, installation, and compliance support.

We operate across Exeter, Plymouth, Devon, and Cornwall, supporting NHS trusts, private healthcare providers, care facilities, and principal contractors with dependable, regulation-compliant fire safety

Active Fire Protection Compliance in Healthcare Settings

Healthcare premises are subject to some of the most stringent fire safety requirements in the UK due to sleeping risk, limited mobility occupants, and continuous operation.

All Points Fire supports compliance with:

  • The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order

  • Building Regulations (Approved Document B)

  • HTM 05-03 (Firecode – Fire safety in healthcare premises)

  • BS 5839 (Fire detection and alarm systems)

  • BS 5266 (Emergency lighting)

Our team understands the regulatory and operational demands of healthcare environments and ensures systems are fully aligned with statutory, clinical, and insurer requirements.

Design-Led, Education-Focused Approach

Educational buildings present unique challenges — from safeguarding requirements to minimising disruption during term time. Our experienced team designs active fire systems that:

  • Support safe evacuation of large numbers of occupants

  • Reduce false alarms

  • Allow phased or out-of-hours installation

  • Meet both regulatory and operational needs

We work collaboratively with school leadership teams and estates managers to deliver practical, compliant solutions.
