Fire Detection & Alarm Systems

Conventional, addressable, wireless or networked — our alarm engineers deliver systems that detect early and notify reliably.

Fire Detection & Alarm Systems

Overview

A correctly specified fire detection and alarm system is the single most important active fire safety measure. We design, install, commission and maintain category L1 to L5 (life safety) and P1 to P2 (property protection) systems for every type of premises.

What we do

  • Cause-and-effect design with full BS 5839-1 compliance documentation.
  • Installation of Advanced, Kentec, Hochiki, Apollo and Morley platforms.
  • Quarterly and annual servicing with logbook updates and engineer certification.
  • False-alarm reduction surveys and L-category right-sizing reviews.
  • 24/7 emergency call-out for system faults, fires and resets.

Why this matters

Under BS 5839-1, fire alarm systems require periodic inspection and servicing by a competent person at intervals not exceeding six months. A poorly maintained system is treated as no system at all by enforcement officers.

Frequently asked questions

BS 5839-1 requires inspection and servicing at intervals not exceeding 6 months. We typically split this into two 6-monthly visits.
