Healthcare buildings demand access products that maintain fire compartmentation, meet HTM and HBN guidance, support infection control through cleanable finishes, and provide secure maintenance access to concealed services. From hospital corridors and patient wards to plant rooms and riser shafts, every access point must balance compliance, durability, and hygiene, often within fast track construction programmes where lead times are critical.

Our Capabilities

What We Provide for
Healthcare Projects

Specialist access solutions engineered for the compliance, hygiene, and performance demands of clinical environments.

Fire Compartmentation

Access panels and riser doors rated up to 120 minutes fire resistance, tested. Maintaining compartmentation in corridors, wards, risers, and ceiling voids, with full test evidence for Building Control.

Acoustic Performance

Panels rated up to 48dB to support acoustic separation between wards, consultation rooms, corridors, and plant areas. Tested performance, not just theoretical ratings.

Hygiene Compatible Finishes

Metal faced panels with powder coated or stainless steel finishes suited to clinical environments. Easy to clean, resistant to impact, and compatible with infection control protocols.

Secure Access

Locking options for restricted plant rooms, electrical risers, and service areas. Controlled maintenance access without compromising patient safety or security.

Bespoke Sizing

Non standard openings are common in healthcare refurbishment and new build. Bespoke panels manufactured in 3 to 5 working days to fit the exact opening, with no compromise on performance.

Complete Documentation

Datasheets, fire test reports, acoustic test reports, installation guidance, NBS specifications, and BIM objects. Everything needed for NHS estates approval and Building Control sign off.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about specifying access solutions for healthcare projects.

What fire ratings are available for healthcare environments?

We provide access panels and riser doors with fire ratings from 30 minutes up to 120 minutes, tested. The right rating depends on the location within the building and the fire strategy. Our technical team can advise based on your project drawings.

Are your panels suitable for clinical areas?

Yes. Metal faced panels with powder coated finishes are easy to clean and suitable for clinical environments. For areas with specific infection control requirements, we can advise on the most appropriate finish and material.

Can you provide documentation for NHS estates approval?

Yes. We supply full documentation packs including fire test reports, acoustic test reports, product datasheets, installation method statements, and NBS specifications, formatted for NHS estates and Building Control approval.

Do you offer acoustic rated panels for healthcare?

Yes. Our acoustic rated panels achieve up to 48dB sound reduction, suitable for separation between wards, consultation rooms, corridors, and plant areas. Performance is independently tested, not just calculated.

Can you manufacture non standard sizes for refurbishment projects?

Yes. Healthcare refurbishment often involves non standard openings. We manufacture bespoke panels to exact dimensions with a typical lead time of 3 to 5 working days, maintaining the same tested performance as our standard range.

Do you provide BIM objects for healthcare projects?

Yes. BIM objects are available for our standard product range and can be downloaded from our technical resources library. For bespoke products, we provide detailed CAD drawings and specification documents.
