Our fire alarm installations provide early smoke and heat detection to protect lives and property. We design, supply, and install wired or wireless systems with manual call points, control panels, and sounders. Regular maintenance ensures compliance with UK fire safety regulations while minimising business disruption.
Fire Extinguishers
We supply, install, and maintain all extinguisher types including water, foam, dry powder, CO2, and wet chemical models. Our certified engineers ensure correct siting, pressure testing, and hydrostatic checks to maintain compliance. Emergency refills and digital certification records are included in our maintenance plans.
Emergency Lighting
Our emergency lighting systems ensure safe evacuation during power failures. We install maintained and non-maintained units with battery backup, conduct regular functional tests, and provide compliance documentation. Systems are tailored to building layouts and regulatory requirements under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

We perform comprehensive fire door inspections to verify compliance with safety standards. Our engineers check door closers, intumescent seals, and hardware functionality, providing detailed reports and repair recommendations. Regular inspections ensure doors perform effectively during emergencies.
