Project Overview

Acorn Passive Fire Protection was appointed to deliver essential fire safety remedial works at Fern Brook Lodge, a live Care South residential care home. Because this is an operational environment with vulnerable residents, every stage of the work required meticulous planning, safe sequencing, and strict dust/noise control to avoid disruption to day-to-day care.

​

Scope of Works

• Removal of legacy foam and non-compliant fire stop/smoke seal installations

• Correction of unsafe penetrations throughout active care areas

• Full passive fire system remedials as identified

• Live-environment working with resident-first safeguarding

• ​

How We Delivered

Our team coordinated closely with Care South’s management to operate in controlled zones, carry out daily clean-downs, and maintain strict access protocols. Each penetration was surveyed, rectified, and reinstated to current British Standards using tested and certified systems.

​

Outcome (Ongoing)

This project remains ongoing as we work systematically through the building, ensuring every penetration meets the correct fire and smoke resistance rating.
