For your business

Commercial fire alarms

Designed to the building and its use, commissioned properly, and maintained on a schedule you can evidence.

Designed against the building

The system a building needs follows from its layout, its use and its fire strategy, not from a catalogue. Detector types, zoning and where the panel goes all come out of that.

If the building has already been assessed for fire safety, that assessment is the right starting point and we will work to it.

Conventional and addressable

A conventional system tells you which zone has activated. An addressable one tells you which device, which in a larger building is the difference between checking one room and checking a floor.

For a small unit conventional is often perfectly adequate. The size and layout of the building decide it.

Testing and records

Fire systems need routine testing, and the record of that testing is usually what an insurer, a landlord or an inspector asks to see.

We service what we install and can take on systems fitted by somebody else after an inspection.

Common questions

How often does a fire alarm need testing?

There is a routine weekly call-point test the responsible person carries out, alongside periodic servicing by an engineer. The exact regime depends on the system and the building. We will set it out for yours rather than quote a general rule.

Can you maintain a system another company installed?

Usually, after an inspection to establish what is there and what condition it is in.
