Fire alarms
In the UK, it’s a legal requirement for buildings to have fire safety equipment installed. In 2018/9, fires where a smoke alarm was not present accounted for 25% (7,446) of dwelling fires and 28% (55) of all dwelling fire-related fatalities (Gov.uk). All our fire alarm systems are in accordance with BS 5839.
Types of Fire Alarm Systems
A fire alarm system needed to protect your building will depend on your individual premises and work function. Certain detection systems available include:
Heat Detectors — A heat detector is designed to be triggered and set off an alarm to alert building residents of a fire. The trigger will be activated when the system detects a predetermined temperature. This will be extreme temperatures and therefore unlikely to be set off by warmer weather
Smoke Detectors — Once installed, a smoke detector will identify particles in the air produced by fire smoke. It will then trigger an alarm to alert residents of an emergency so they can safely evacuate with minimal damage.
Carbon Monoxide Detectors – When certain carbon monoxide fire detectors are used in commercial buildings they are able to alert any potential fires. Certain systems have the ability to filter out particles found in smoke to only detect carbon monoxide. This fire alarm system is only effective for certain types of fire.

There’s no one-size-fits all when it comes to fire alarms as it will heavily depend on specific factors including the size and layout of your premises, building specifics, personal constraints and the functionality of your business. In some cases, more than one fire alarm system may need to be installed to cover every corner of your workplace.
Fire Alarm System Maintenance and Repair
Commercial fire alarm maintenance is crucial to provide adequate protection to your workplace. We recommend that a delegated, trained individual carries out this task on a weekly (or monthly) basis to ensure your fire systems remain in line with the recommended requirements.
If your fire safety system is identified as faulty, we are able to provide commercial fire alarm repairs to ensure they’re working correctly again. This is an incredibly important step to provide safety in the workplace and shouldn’t be overlooked.
