Fire Detection

The foundation of any effective fire alarm system.
Fire detection identifies the earliest signs of fire, whether smoke, heat or both, and raises the alarm before a situation has a chance to escalate. We work with addressable and conventional systems to suit different commercial premises, ensuring complete building coverage and the fastest possible response times to keep your staff and site protected.

Fire Suppression

Limiting the spread of fire at the source.
Fire suppression works alongside your detection system to actively contain flames, heat and smoke. Options include portable extinguishers, misting systems and sprinkler installations, each suited to different commercial environments and risk profiles. Whether your site houses sensitive equipment, valuable stock or large open floor space, we specify the right solution for the risks your business faces.

Fire Stopping

Preventing fire from travelling through your building.
Fire stopping seals the gaps, voids and penetrations in a building's structure that would otherwise allow fire and smoke to spread between areas. This includes fire-rated sealants, pipe collars and mortar installed around cables, pipes and service routes. For businesses operating across multiple floors or interconnected spaces, it is a critical and legally required element of your overall fire safety provision.

Emergency Lighting

Keeping your people safe when it counts.
When a fire causes a power failure, emergency lighting keeps escape routes clearly visible so staff and visitors can evacuate safely. We design and install BS5266-compliant systems covering exit routes, stairwells and key areas throughout your premises, with regular testing and maintenance to keep your business compliant and your people protected.

PAVA System

Clear communication during an emergency.
A public address and voice alarm (PAVA) system delivers spoken instructions to everyone on your premises during a fire or emergency. Rather than relying on alarm tones alone, it provides clear guidance towards exits and reinforces your evacuation procedures. For larger commercial sites, warehouses or multi-occupancy buildings, a PAVA system can make a significant difference to how quickly and safely an evacuation is completed.

EVCS

Supporting safe evacuation for all occupants.
An emergency voice communication system (EVCS) provides two-way communication between evacuees, emergency marshals and the fire and rescue services. It is a requirement in many commercial and public buildings, particularly where mobility-impaired individuals may need additional assistance. A correctly installed EVCS ensures everyone on your site can be accounted for and guided to safety.

Evacuation Alert Systems

Meeting current requirements for high-rise buildings.
Evacuation alert systems (EAS) are designed to assist fire and rescue services in managing evacuations from high-rise residential and mixed-use buildings. Installed and maintained to BS8629 compliance, they are a legislative requirement for qualifying buildings. We ensure every installation is properly documented, tested and fully compliant with current regulations.
