Fire risk assessment review and system design
We review your fire risk assessment and design a system (Category L1–L5 or P1–P2) appropriate to your premises and occupancy.
Supply and installation of all detection equipment
Smoke detectors, heat detectors, beam detectors, call points, sounders and control panels from leading manufacturers.

Why It Matters
Legal requirement for commercial premises
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires responsible persons to have adequate fire detection in non-domestic premises.
Protects lives, property and your business
Early detection dramatically increases evacuation time and can prevent total loss of a building and its contents.
Ongoing maintenance keeps your system compliant
BS 5839 requires fire alarm systems to be serviced at least twice per year by a competent person.
