Fire Alarms

Fire alarm systems are crucial for alerting occupants and emergency responders to the presence of a fire. They consist of various components, including detectors, manual call points, sounders, and control panels, all working together to provide immediate warnings.

Types of Fire Alarm Systems

Our fire detection systems utilise a range of technologies tailored to specific environments.

Conventional Fire Alarms

Basic zoned systems where a fire’s location is identified within a predefined zone.

Addressable Fire Alarms

Advanced systems that pinpoint the exact location of a fire using unique addresses for each detector.

Wireless Fire Alarms

Radio-linked systems offering flexible installation without extensive wiring.

Hybrid Fire Alarm Systems

Combining wired and wireless components for enhanced reliability and flexibility.

Integrated Fire Alarm and Refuge Solutions

We provide integrated fire alarm and refuge systems, designed to offer comprehensive protection for your premises. These key features work together to ensure rapid response and safe evacuation, tailored to your specific safety needs.

Control Panels

The intelligent hub of your fire safety network, coordinating signals and responses. This central system activates alarms and integrates with other safety features, providing real-time status for rapid emergency response.

Manual Call Points

Wall-mounted devices for instant alarm activation. These buttons allow anyone to quickly report a fire, even before automatic detectors trigger. Strategic placement ensures immediate human intervention when needed.

Audible & Visual Alarms

Clear and unmistakable warnings using sounders, bells, and flashing beacons. Strategically positioned, these alarms ensure everyone is alerted to a fire emergency, including those with sensory impairments, prompting immediate evacuation.

Voice Alarm Systems

Spoken evacuation instructions for guided safety. Unlike traditional alarms, these systems provide clear directions, minimising confusion. They integrate with fire refuge systems, offering coordinated communication during emergencies.

Fire Refuge Systems

Designated safe areas with two-way communication. These systems enable individuals needing assistance to communicate with emergency services during evacuation. Clear communication channels ensure everyone can safely evacuate the building.

Self-Installation VS Professional Installation

Self-Installation

For small businesses or residential properties, some fire alarm systems can be self-installed, particularly wireless or standalone smoke alarms and heat detectors. Self- installation can be cost effective and convenient, provided the system meets safety standards and is correctly set up. However, improper installation may lead to ineffective fire detection, false alarms, or failure to meet legal requirements.

Professional Installation

For larger buildings, high-risk environments, or where compliance with BS 5839 is required, professional installationis recommended. Certified fire alarm engineers ensure the system is correctly designed, installed, and integrated with other fire safety measures. Professional installation also includes testing, commissioning, and guidance on ongoing maintenance, ensuring full compliance with legal requirements.

If you’re unsure whether self-installation or professional setup is best for your property, our team can provide expert advice based on your needs and fire safety obligations.
