Active Fire Protection for Care Homes

Compliance, Design & Installation | All Points Fire

Care homes require a particularly high standard of fire safety due to vulnerable residents, limited mobility, and sleeping risk. Active fire protection systems must be carefully designed, fully compliant, and dependable at all times. At All Points Fire, we specialise in active fire protection systems for care homes, delivering expert design, installation, and compliance support for residential and nursing care environments.

We work across Exeter, Plymouth, Devon, and Cornwall, supporting care providers, operators, developers, and managing agents with robust, regulation-compliant fire safety systems.

Active Fire Protection Compliance in Care Homes

Care homes are subject to stringent fire safety requirements due to the presence of residents who may require assistance to evacuate. Fire protection systems must support safe evacuation strategies while minimising disruption and distress.

All Points Fire supports compliance with:

  • The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order

  • Building Regulations (Approved Document B)

  • BS 5839-1 and BS 5839-6 (Fire detection and alarm systems)

  • BS 5266 (Emergency lighting)

  • Care Quality Commission (CQC) fire safety expectations

Our team understands how regulatory compliance, resident safety, and day-to-day care operations must work together.
