Gold Fire Services is proud to cater to a wide range of clients across a number of sectors such as healthcare, education, residential and social housing.
Hospitals
In hospitals, passive fire protection is critical to safeguarding vulnerable patients, staff, and vital equipment. Fire doors, compartmentation, and fire-resistant materials help contain smoke and fire, buying time for evacuation and allowing essential medical operations to continue. With complex layouts and high dependency units, effective PFP ensures compliance with HTM standards and limits risk to life.
HMO's (Houses of multiple occupation)
In HMO properties, passive fire protection is essential to contain fire within individual units, limiting spread through shared corridors and stairwells. Fire doors, compartment walls, and fire-rated ceilings provide critical separation between tenants, ensuring compliance with housing and fire safety regulations while protecting lives in densely occupied living environments.
Care homes
Care homes house some of the most vulnerable members of society, many of whom may have limited mobility. Passive fire protection plays a key role in creating safe zones, allowing staff more time to assist with evacuation. Fire doors, smoke seals, and protected escape routes are vital for safeguarding residents and meeting stringent care sector safety standards.
Social Housing
In social housing, passive fire protection ensures the safety of occupants in flats and communal areas, particularly in high-rise or multi-occupancy blocks. Fire compartmentation, fire-rated doors, and compliant sealing of service penetrations reduce the risk of fire spread between units and are essential to meet both Building Regulations and duty of care obligations by housing providers.
Schools
In schools, passive fire protection is vital to ensure the safety of pupils, staff, and visitors in the event of a fire. With large numbers of occupants, complex building layouts, and vulnerable groups such as young children, effective compartmentation, fire doors, and fire-stopping systems are essential to contain fire and smoke. PFP helps maintain safe evacuation routes, reduces risk to life, and ensures compliance with fire safety regulations set out for educational settings.
