Fire Alarm & Detection Systems

Smoke and heat detection wired to an alarm that actually reaches people in time — inspected and maintained, not installed once and forgotten.

Why it matters

Early warning that works

Detection and alarms designed around your actual layout, not a generic checklist.

Compliance made simple

Regular testing and documentation ready for inspection, insurance, or audit.

Fewer false alarms

Properly specified detectors mean fewer disruptive false triggers.

What this covers

  • Site assessment and design matched to the building's layout and fire risk
  • Installation of smoke, heat, and gas detectors, alarm panels, and sounders, integrated with existing security systems where useful
  • Scheduled testing and compliance checks, so the system works the one time it has to

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a smoke detector and a heat detector?

A smoke detector reacts to smoke particles and gives the earliest warning, but can false-trigger from steam, dust, or cooking fumes. A heat detector reacts to temperature rise and is more resistant to false alarms, but reacts later — that's why kitchens and dusty workshops often get heat detectors while offices and corridors get smoke.

How often does a fire alarm system need to be tested or inspected?

Regular scheduled testing — at minimum annually, more often for higher-risk or larger sites — is standard, so the system and its documentation are ready whenever an inspector, insurer, or auditor asks, not scrambled together after the fact.

Can a fire alarm system be integrated with our existing CCTV or access control?

Yes — integrating fire detection with security systems already in place (for example, unlocking doors automatically on a fire trigger) is something we design for where it makes sense for the building.
