Healthcare estates:
fire, M&E, air, fabric.

Hospitals, clinics, care and assisted-living schemes: buildings that never close, where every intervention has to be planned around patients, clinicians and infection control. Four disciplines from one group, on one number.

The buyer here is an estates and facilities lead, an NHS trust or private operator, or an FM provider holding the contract on their behalf. Their constraints are fixed: 24-hour occupancy, clinical adjacency, permit-to-work, infection prevention and control, and a regulator that expects the record to exist before it asks. No decant, no second chances at the door.

The group's answer is to bring the disciplines to the estate rather than the estate to five contractors. Gemini AMPM's fire and passive fire engineers work through live wards and risers in agreed phases; AMPM Building Services carries the mechanical, electrical, public health and fabric work; Clean Ducts keeps the air handling units, ductwork and catering extract clean, tested and certificated. Assets are logged once, in Uptick, and the reports share a format.

What the group delivers here

Fire detection and alarm to BS 5839-1, fire doors on clinical corridors, fire stopping and compartmentation through risers and ceiling voids, phased ward by ward. Fire risk assessments and door surveys with a priced remedial schedule. Certificated under NSI Gold, BAFE and FIRAS registrations held by Gemini AMPM Ltd.

Ventilation and air handling, hot and cold water services alongside your L8 regime, emergency lighting to BS 5266, fixed-wire testing to BS 7671 and planned maintenance to SFG20.

AHU and ductwork cleaning to BESA TR19 with photographic evidence, fire damper inspection and drop tests across compartment lines, kitchen extract to TR19 Grease for catering, cleanroom commissioning and validation.

Ward and department refurbishment in phases, roofing and envelope work over live buildings, records that stand up to inspection.

Working live

How a live estate keeps running.

Method statements are written for the department, not the building: dust and noise control, sealed working areas, out-of-hours slots for the noisy work, and a site lead who doubles as the point of contact for the ward manager. Gemini AMPM's engineers are CSCS-carded, photo-identified and screened to BS 7858, with DBS checks available on request. The record is the product: before-and-after photographs on every fire-stopping location, damper test results by asset, certificates in the right company's name.

Questions
Can you work in occupied clinical areas?

Yes, in agreed phases with the department. Longfield Court, an assisted-living scheme for Canterbury City Council, was compartmented, fire-stopped and given added detection over four months with every resident at home; the same liaison model applies to a ward.

What evidence do we get for the fire authority or an inspection?

Certificates in Gemini AMPM Ltd's name under its NSI Gold, BAFE and FIRAS registrations, photographic records for every fire-stopping location, damper test results by asset, and an asset register you can export. Nothing is assembled after the event.

Are you registered for public-sector procurement?

Gemini AMPM Ltd is registered on the Central Digital Platform used by Find a Tender, holds a DUNS number and has bid on NHS and local-authority maintenance contracts. Tender packs and PQQ invitations go to bids@ampm.co.uk.

Who maintains what after handover?

Fire, evacuation alert, suppression and security systems are maintained by Gemini AMPM; plant, water services and fabric by AMPM Building Services; ventilation hygiene by Clean Ducts. One number, and where you want it, one group relationship.
