Our fire alarm services
Design
The right system depends on the size, layout and use of your premises. We look at how your building is used and who is in it, then recommend the right products or combination of products to suit your building and your fire risk assessment.
Installation
For most commercial buildings we install Hochiki fire detection, and we can work alongside equipment you already have.
Commissioning
We commission the system and hand it over, showing you how it works and what to do if it goes off.
Maintenance and servicing
A fire alarm is only useful if it keeps working. Our maintenance plans help keep your system in good order and help you keep the records you need. We can take over maintenance of an existing system, upgrade it, or install a new one.
Customers on a maintenance contract also get access to our 24/7 call-out.
Your responsibilities
If you own, manage or run non-domestic premises in Crawley, including the common parts of blocks of flats, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 puts duties on the “responsible person”. These include making sure a suitable fire risk assessment is in place, and that fire detection and warning systems are provided where needed and kept in good working order. It does not apply to single private homes.
For most premises in Crawley, West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service enforces these rules and may visit to check your fire safety arrangements and records. A properly designed and maintained fire alarm, with up-to-date records, helps you show that you’re meeting your duties.
Not sure your fire alarm records are up to date? Call us and we’ll look at what you have.
We don’t carry out fire risk assessments. If your assessment calls for a new or upgraded alarm, we can design and install it.
Accreditations
We hold NSI Fire Silver and NSI Systems Silver approval.
For fire detection and alarm systems we are BAFE Registered (SP203-1): BAFE SP203-1 Fire Detection and Alarm Systems: Design, Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance, third-party certificated by NSI.
