Fire Alarm Installation
We design and install bespoke wireless and hybrid fire alarm systems compliant with BS5839 and EN54 standards. Our networked systems integrate with emergency lighting and access control for comprehensive coverage. Suitable for commercial properties, listed buildings, and complex layouts, our solutions use advanced microprocessor technology for reliability and scalability up to 240 devices per loop.
Fire Alarm Maintenance
Our BAFE SP203-accredited engineers provide maintenance contracts for existing fire alarm systems. Services include annual inspections, compliance advice, and 24/7 emergency call-outs. We offer two service tiers with features like priority repairs, detailed reporting, and remote system monitoring to ensure ongoing compliance with the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005.
Emergency Lighting
We install intelligent LED emergency lighting systems compliant with BS5266 standards. Our FIREscape systems use low-voltage cabling and battery backup for energy efficiency, with automatic testing and remote monitoring capabilities. Ideal for multi-storey buildings, they provide up to 3 hours of backup lighting and integrate with fire detection systems for coordinated evacuation support.
Access Control
Our networked access control systems use PIN codes, key cards, or biometric authentication to manage entry points. Integrated with CCTV and intruder alarms, they offer real-time monitoring via smartphone apps. Features include timed lock-downs, user access management, and compatibility with lighting and HVAC systems for enhanced security and energy efficiency.
Fire Extinguishers
We supply and install BS Kitemarked fire extinguishers compliant with current regulations. Services include risk assessment reviews, 5-year servicing, and replacement of outdated models. Our range includes water, CO2, foam, and wet chemical extinguishers suitable for class A-F fires, with wall-mounting brackets and compliance certification for commercial premises.
