What PROSOL (UK) LIMITED does

Prosol (UK) Limited is a Manchester-based, founder-owned construction contractor founded in 2002 that operates as a specialist building safety and refurbishment provider, with deep expertise in passive fire protection and live-environment project delivery. The company offers three tightly integrated service lines: full-scope construction services (groundworks, structural works, fit-out, MEP coordination and finishes), specialist fire door services (surveys, supply, installation, remediation, inspection and certification to BS 8214 / BS 9999), and passive fire protection including compartmentation, fire stopping, cavity barriers, intumescent coatings and structural fire protection. Rather than positioning fire safety as a discrete add-on, Prosol embeds compliance into the construction workflow from initial surveys through to handover, which it markets as its primary differentiator.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through project-based lump-sum contracts awarded via competitive tender or direct appointment, with individual instruction values ranging from under £1,000 to over £100,000 and major programmes exceeding £2 million. The customer base is concentrated in UK healthcare (NHS Foundation Trusts including Manchester University, East Lancashire), local authorities, and facilities management main contractors (Sodexo, Equans, Piggot & Whitfield), with the anchor relationship being a rolling Fire Door Replacement Programme at Manchester Royal Infirmary that has accumulated £2.14M+ in contract value since 2015. The company relies on direct enterprise field sales, industry reputation and repeat appointments rather than paid marketing, and uses Bolster Systems third-party software to maintain digital audit trails of fire door installations. Operations are confined to England and the firm remains independently owned by co-founders Chris Goodison and David Hickson, with no external investors or parent company.

Core offering

Prosol (UK) Limited is a construction-led building safety and refurbishment contractor delivering full-service construction, specialist fire door services, and passive fire protection across healthcare, education, retail, local authority, and sports facilities in the United Kingdom. The company integrates fire safety compliance directly into construction delivery rather than treating it as a separate exercise, covering groundworks, structural works, fit-out, fire door supply/installation/remediation, compartmentation, fire stopping, and fire-rated penetrations. Customers include NHS Foundation Trusts, local authorities, and facilities management companies such as Sodexo, Equans, and Piggot & Whitfield, with project values from under £1,000 to over £2 million.

Product overview

Prosol UK Ltd is a construction-led building safety and refurbishment contractor founded in 2002, offering an integrated portfolio of three core service lines: Construction Services (full-service new build and refurbishment delivery across residential, commercial, industrial, and specialist sectors), Fire Doors (specialist fire door surveys, supply, installation, remediation, inspection, and certification), and Passive Fire Protection (PFP) covering compartmentation, fire stopping, and fire-rated construction products. The three offerings are tightly integrated — the company embeds passive fire protection and fire door compliance directly into its construction delivery rather than treating it as a separate exercise, enabling fire safety compliance to be built in from the outset across new builds, refurbishments, and fit-out projects in healthcare, education, retail, hospitality, and local authority sectors.

Broad incumbents

• Bowmer + Kirkland: Privately held UK contractor with a strong track record in healthcare, education and commercial new build and refurbishment. Comparable to Prosol on nonresidential construction for NHS and public-sector clients, with similar founder-influenced culture but materially larger turnover.
• Kier Group: Large UK construction and infrastructure group with substantial NHS and public-sector workload. Comparable to Prosol in delivering nonresidential building and refurbishment programmes for healthcare and local authority clients, though much larger and increasingly internalising specialist fire safety scope.
• Willmott Dixon: Large UK contractor with a healthcare and public-sector focus that delivers new build, refurbishment and fire safety upgrades for NHS trusts. Comparable to Prosol as a nonresidential construction contractor serving the same NHS client base, but operating at much greater scale and with in-house fire protection capability.
• Seddon Group: Privately held UK construction and property services group with significant refurbishment, fit-out and maintenance work for NHS, local authority and commercial clients. Comparable to Prosol on nonresidential refurbishment and ongoing facility-support work for healthcare clients, with a similar family-owned culture but a larger operational footprint.
• Wates Group: UK contractor delivering nonresidential construction across healthcare, education and commercial sectors. Comparable to Prosol through its NHS and public-sector refurbishment work, with substantially greater scale and integrated delivery capabilities.
• Balfour Beatty: Major UK infrastructure and construction group active across public buildings, healthcare and education. Comparable to Prosol through nonresidential construction in regulated UK environments, but with much greater scale, integrated fire safety capability and a broader geographic footprint.
• Skanska UK: UK arm of the global Swedish contractor delivering healthcare, education and public-sector buildings. Comparable to Prosol through its nonresidential healthcare and public-sector construction portfolio, but operating at much greater scale with bundled sustainability and fire safety expertise.
• Sir Robert McAlpine: Established UK contractor delivering complex nonresidential construction including healthcare, education and public buildings. Comparable to Prosol on nonresidential construction and refurbishment for institutional clients, with far greater scale and integrated delivery.
• Morgan Sindall Group: Major UK construction and infrastructure group with a strong public-sector and healthcare presence. Comparable to Prosol through its nonresidential contracting on NHS and local authority frameworks, although far larger and with bundled fire safety delivery.
• Mace Group: Global consultancy and construction firm with a UK construction business delivering complex healthcare, education and public-sector projects. Comparable to Prosol on nonresidential healthcare construction and refurbishment, but operating at significantly greater scale and geographic reach.
