HTM 61 is the NHS Health Technical Memorandum covering flooring in healthcare premises. It sets standards for hygiene, slip resistance, jointing and wall-to-floor detailing in clinical environments.

Can you work in occupied healthcare buildings?

Yes. The majority of our healthcare work is delivered in occupied buildings, working out of hours and in phased sections agreed with estates and infection control.

Healthcare flooring built around infection control

Healthcare flooring has to do three things at once — resist infection, resist slips, and survive constant cleaning. Prem-Floor installs welded sheet vinyl and safety flooring from Altro, Polyflor, Forbo and Gerflor in clinical, primary care, dental and care home environments. Every seam is heat-welded, every wall junction is coved or capped, and every drain and threshold is detailed for full water-tightness. The result is a continuous, washable, infection-control compliant surface.

Working in live clinical environments

Hospitals don't stop for refurbishment. We work alongside estates and infection control teams to plan phasing, dust containment, segregated access and out-of-hours installation. Wards stay open. Surgeries keep running. Patients are kept clear of the works. We've delivered flooring schemes across NHS Trusts, private hospitals, GP practices, dental surgeries and care homes across the UK.

HTM 61 and wet room compliance

We install to HTM 61 hygienic flooring standards for clinical areas, with cap and cove vinyl skirtings sealed to walls, fully welded seams and integration with Altro Whiterock hygienic wall cladding where required. Wet rooms — assisted bathrooms, shower rooms, sluice rooms — are delivered with slip-rated safety flooring, drain detailing and DDA-compliant thresholds.

Heat-welded sheet vinyl with coved skirtings is the default specification for clinical and ward environments in UK hospitals — it is hygienic, slip-resistant, durable and complies with HTM 61. Safety vinyl is added in wet and contaminated areas, and Altro Whiterock is often used on the walls.
