The challenge

Complex replacement work in a clinical setting.

Existing doorsets had to be removed and replaced without compromising hospital operations. Concealed structural differences only became visible after removal, and the X-ray rooms required lead-lined doors that met both fire-resistance and radiation-shielding requirements.

The solution

Specialist doors, correct apertures and phased delivery.

Emergi-Safe cut back and reworked brickwork to form suitable openings, then installed compliant doorsets across the site. X-ray room doors incorporated the required lead lining, seals and ironmongery, with work phased around clinical activity.

The result

A safer hospital with disruption kept under control.

  • Compliant doorsets aligned to current requirements
  • Radiation-rated protection for X-ray environments
  • Improved compartmentation and building safety
  • Structural challenges resolved on site
  • Minimal disruption to patients and staff
"The team was professional and proactive, completing the work with minimal disruption while improving safety and compliance."
