Fire alarms
The right people at every stage
A fire alarm system has to be designed for the building, installed neatly and commissioned correctly. We carry out the installation and all of the associated electrical work. The design, commissioning and servicing are carried out by a specialist fire alarm partner we work with, so every stage is handled by people who do it every day.
Installation
Fire alarm installation
We install fire alarm systems in offices, shops, studios, warehouses and commercial units, as part of a fit-out or as a standalone job.
- Control panels, call points, sounders and beacons
- Smoke and heat detectors
- Fire-resistant cabling, neatly clipped or run in containment
- Dedicated supplies to the panel
- Links to door holders, extract fans and other equipment where the design calls for it
For Strong Pilates in Leicester, for example, the fire alarm wiring was part of our full electrical fit-out.
Design and commissioning
Designed and signed off by specialists
Our specialist fire alarm partner designs the system to suit the building and how it is used, then commissions it and issues the certificates once our installation is complete. They can also carry out a fire risk assessment if you need one.
Servicing
Fire alarm servicing
Fire alarm systems need regular servicing to stay reliable. Servicing is arranged with our fire alarm partner, and any electrical remedial work is carried out by us, so you have one point of contact.
Emergency lighting
Emergency lighting
Fire alarms and emergency lighting usually go together. We install and test emergency lighting and keep the records. See testing and compliance.
Fit-outs
Part of a fit-out
On a fit-out, the fire alarm cabling is planned alongside the power, lighting and data, so the whole installation goes in once. See commercial fit-outs.
