Commercial Fire Risk Assessments & Compliance Devon, Somerset & Cornwall
Mon-Fri: 7am - 6pm
Ensuring fire safety in hospitals and healthcare environments is essential for protecting patients, staff, and critical infrastructure. We provide specialist hospital fire risk assessments across Exeter, Plymouth, and the wider Devon region, helping NHS trusts, private hospitals, clinics, and medical centres stay fully compliant with UK fire regulations.
Why Hospitals Need Specialist Fire Risk Assessments
Healthcare environments face unique fire safety challenges, including vulnerable occupants, medical equipment, oxygen-rich areas, and complex building layouts. A general fire assessment is not enough—hospitals require a healthcare-specific, HTM-compliant approach.
Our assessments ensure compliance with:
-
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
-
HTM 05-01 & HTM 05-03 (Healthcare Firecode)
-
NHS fire safety assurance standards
-
Local fire authority expectations

We provide fully documented, detailed fire safety assessments covering all areas of a hospital or healthcare facility, including:
✔ Fire safety compliance and documentation
We review and assess existing fire policies, emergency plans, evacuation procedures, and management responsibilities.
✔ Ward, theatre & clinical area assessments
Specialist evaluation of high-risk healthcare spaces such as operating theatres, ICU, diagnostic departments, and wards.
✔ Escape routes & evacuation planning
Clear assessment of escape routes for patients, including progressive horizontal evacuation (PHE) for non-ambulant users.
✔ Fire detection, alarms & suppression systems
Assessment of fire alarm coverage, monitoring, extinguishers, sprinklers, and suppression equipment.
✔ Compartmentation & fire-resisting construction
We check fire doors, dampers, walls, voids, service risers, and passive protection for compliance.
