Fire alarm systems: Installation & upgrades

We install a wide range of reliable fire alarm systems, tailored to your building’s layout, occupancy and risk profile. From single-site properties to multi-location setups, we provide scalable solutions that ensure full coverage and regulatory compliance.

Conventional systems

Conventional fire alarm systems are a straightforward and cost-effective choice for smaller properties. These systems divide your building into zones, with detectors and call points wired to a control panel. When triggered, the system pinpoints the affected zone, helping you respond quickly.

Ideal for: Small offices, retail spaces, and residential properties.

Two-wire systems

For simplicity and efficiency, two-wire systems like the Fike TwinflexPro² combine detection and alarm functions on a single cable pair per zone. These systems are perfect for smaller buildings and retrofit projects, offering features like:

  • Multipoint detectors with smoke, heat and rate-of-rise modes.
  • Built-in sounders and strobes for added functionality.
  • Alarm confirmation technology to reduce false evacuations.

Advantages:

  • Reduced wiring and installation time.
  • Cost-effective without compromising on safety.

Ideal for: HMOs*, small commercial buildings, and community centres.

Addressable systems

For larger or more complex buildings, addressable fire alarm systems provide intelligent detection and precise fire location identification. Each device has a unique address, allowing for faster and more accurate responses.

Features:

  • Scalable and flexible configurations.
  • Integration with building management systems (BMS), voice evacuation, and emergency lighting.

Ideal for: Schools/colleges, shared accommodation blocks, healthcare facilities, and commercial properties.

We work with trusted brands like Honeywell, Advanced, C-TEC, Haes and more.
