Beyond Prisons - Where Else the DeepClean Extra+ Makes a Difference

The DeepClean Extra+ anti-ligature radiator has already made history as the first of its kind to achieve MoJ approval for use in safer cells. While safer cells represent the toughest test for heating in custodial environments, the value of this radiator extends far beyond prisons alone.

Across a wide range of secure and high-risk settings, the same design principles that earned MoJ approval - safety, durability, tamper-resistance, and hygiene - make the DeepClean Extra+ an invaluable solution.

Young Offenders Institutions (YOIs)

Young people in custody require environments that combine safety with care. Heating must not only be robust enough to withstand tampering but also designed to reduce opportunities for self-harm. The DeepClean Extra+ delivers this with:

• Anti-ligature features to discourage ligature attachment.
• Durable construction to withstand deliberate damage.
• Hygienic coatings to support infection control.

Police Custody Suites

In custody suites, detainees are often in a heightened state of stress or agitation. Fixtures and fittings must be tamper-resistant, while also ensuring a safe, controlled environment for staff. The DeepClean Extra+ radiator offers:

• Secure fixings and locks to deter interference.
• Sloping top design to prevent concealment.
• Easy cleaning access for estates teams managing busy facilities.

136 Mental Health Assessment Suites

Under Section 136 of the Mental Health Act, individuals can be taken to a place of safety for assessment. These facilities require environments that reduce self-harm risks while supporting dignity and care. The DeepClean Extra+ contributes to this by:

• Reducing ligature opportunities through design.
• Providing safe warmth in settings where vulnerable people are cared for.
• Incorporating antimicrobial protection for added hygiene.

Immigration Detention Centres

Immigration detention presents unique challenges, with high occupancy, varied needs, and intense use of facilities. Radiators must provide reliable heating while being secure, durable, and hygienic. The DeepClean Extra+ is designed for long-term resilience, helping estates teams maintain safe environments.

Pupil Referral Units (PRUs)

In education settings where children with behavioural or emotional needs are supported, heating must balance comfort with security. The DeepClean Extra+ offers schools and PRUs a radiator solution that minimises risk while ensuring reliable warmth and easy cleaning.

Why MoJ Approval Matters in All These Settings

Although the MoJ approval applies specifically to safer cells, the rigorous testing process confirms that the DeepClean Extra+ is equipped for a wide range of high-risk environments.

(Approved for sizes up to 1200mm x 960mm x 260mm. Larger units are available but must be signed off at local level.)

This means architects, specifiers, and estates teams working outside the prison estate can also benefit from a radiator proven to perform under the toughest custodial standards.
