BIF have been involved with secure accommodation project works for over 25 years.
During this time we've completed hundreds of bedrooms, ensuites & seclusion rooms in the mental healthcare sector, by providing durable, decorative & safe floor& wall finishes.
In the last 10 years we've completed 8 major, multi-cell Police Custody Suites (comprising of 5 New Build and 3 refurbishment projects).
Every installation is completed by our own, directly employed teams who work under the guidance of our management team.
Our company have developed methods to overcome common defects found in secure environments (such as cracks developing across cell door thresholds) and we have materials which provide incredibly tough, safe and attractive surfaces to ensure the long term durability of the facility.

New Build
With 5 completed Police Custody Suites completed since 2013, we're very pleased to confirm that every one of these projects remains defect free.
Installing resin finishes in New Build schemes needs our early involvement to ensure the expansion joints and detailing around access points are correctly detailed ahead of pouring concrete bases. The position of expansion joints is equally important and we provide advice on the location of joints when needed.
Cell Door bases must also be accurately cast, so that once the door frame is in position, our fibre reinforced mortar (which is able to withstand vibration and possible structural movement) is installed before the resin floor system is installed.
Refurbishment
With 3 successfully completed refurbishments , the effectiveness of the repairs completed before new surface finishes were applied are testament to the skill and knowledge of our team.
An initial conditions survey of the facility is made by a member of our management team. Although works can be completed with the facility remaining operational (closing a wing at a time), work is easier and is completed with less disruption, if the facility plans a shutdown. In either case, a Programme is provided which clearly shows the duration for the work.
Some Custody Suites have underfloor heating and where defects have occurred, we carefully removal of defect screed around heating pipework (if necessary completely removing and reinstating the screed as part of our scope).
Existing facilities with Asphalt floors can be refurbished without uplifting the existing floor finish. By careful preparation and some additional reinforcement, we can overlay the existing finish with a robust, flexible resin system.
Regardless of the condition of a Custody Suite, we can reconstruct floor and wall surfaces with extremely durable, hygienic and attractive finishes which will withstand attempts of deliberate damage and provide lasting answers to ageing facilities.
Tough Wall Finishes
Epoxy Primer
Epoxy Regulation Layer
Decoration Layer incorporating decorative aggregates & epoxy seals
We also apply a matching finish to walls, to give an extremely durable finish in Custodial Areas.
The top edge of the resin cove finshes flush with the base of the wall finish, preventing dirt traps and ensuring no pickable edges, with the top of the resin cove and base of the wall finish, tucked into a saw cut strip.
A contrasting vision strip can also be cast into wall finishes, to aid orientation.
Internal corners are infilled with a radius of epoxy, to aid cleaning and maintaining hygiene.
