Commercial Fire Door Compliance Devon, Somerset & Cornwall
Mon-Fri: 7am - 6pm
At Vesta Sol Fire Protection, we provide fully compliant passive fire protection (PFP) services for retirement villages, assisted living communities, care complexes, and sheltered accommodation across Exeter, Devon, and the South West. We help ensure the safety of older residents—many of whom may have reduced mobility or require additional support—by delivering reliable, long-lasting, and accredited fire protection solutions.
Why Passive Fire Protection Is Vital in Retirement Villages
Retirement villages and senior living facilities house vulnerable residents, making fire safety and compartmentation critical. Key challenges include:
-
Reduced mobility and slower evacuation speeds
-
Complex building layouts across apartments, communal areas, and on-site facilities
-
Increased risk areas such as plant rooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms
-
The need for safe, protected evacuation routes
-
24/7 occupancy and higher dependency levels
Effective passive fire protection slows the spread of fire and smoke, providing essential time for evacuation and preventing large-scale property damage.
