Robust fire detection for warehouses, factories and industrial sites across Surrey

Industrial environments present some of the toughest fire detection challenges — large open spaces, high ceilings, dust, temperature extremes, heavy machinery and hazardous materials. A standard office fire alarm won't cut it. You need a system designed specifically for your environment, your risks and your operations.

OC Services designs, installs and maintains fire alarm systems for industrial premises across Surrey. Every system is engineered for the realities of your site, installed to BS 5839-1 and backed by ongoing servicing and 24/7 emergency support.

Our Industrial Fire Alarm Solutions

Survey, Design & Installation

Addressable Fire Alarm Systems

Exact detector identification across large, complex sites. Know precisely where the alarm has triggered — critical in warehouses and factories where minutes matter and layouts can span thousands of square metres.

Conventional Fire Alarm Systems

Zone-based detection for smaller industrial units, workshops and single-use buildings. Reliable, cost-effective and straightforward to operate.

Beam Detectors

Designed for high-ceiling environments like warehouses, distribution centres and manufacturing halls where standard point detectors can't be mounted at practical heights. Beam detectors project an infrared beam across the space and trigger when smoke interrupts it.

Linear Heat Detection

A continuous sensing cable that detects heat along its entire length — ideal for cable trays, conveyor systems, racking aisles and areas where point detectors aren't practical.

Heat Detectors

For areas with dust, fumes or temperature fluctuations where smoke detectors would cause false alarms — workshops, welding bays, loading docks and plant rooms.

Maintenance and Fault Support

Fire Alarm Systems are used constantly — so reliability matters. We offer maintenance and responsive support to keep your Fire panels working and your call points functioning correctly

Aspirating Smoke Detection (ASD)

Ultra-early warning detection that continuously samples air through a pipe network. Used in high-value storage, server rooms within industrial buildings and environments where the earliest possible warning is critical.

Emergency Lighting

Escape route and open-area emergency lighting for large floor plates, mezzanines, loading bays and external yards. BS 5266 compliant.

Manual Call Points & Sounders

Break-glass points at exits and throughout the site, with high-output sounders and visual alarm devices (VADs) for noisy production environments where standard sounders may not be heard.

Challenges we solve

High ceilings— Beam detectors and aspirating systems where standard detectors can't reach or respond effectively
Dust, fumes and temperature extremes— Detector types selected to avoid false alarms without compromising detection
Large floor areas— Zoned or addressable systems covering thousands of square metres with clear panel indication
Noisy environments— High-output sounders and VADs so alarms are heard and seen over machinery
Hazardous materials and processes— Detection tailored to specific risks including flammable storage, chemical handling and welding areas
Mixed-use sites— Warehouses with attached offices, mezzanine levels and separate loading areas all covered under one system
24/7 operations— Systems designed for sites that never stop, with servicing scheduled around your shifts

Who we help

Warehouses & Distribution Centres— Racking aisles, loading bays, dispatch areas and offices
Factories & Manufacturing— Production floors, assembly lines, plant rooms and raw material storage
Workshops & Trade Units— Smaller industrial units with specific risks (welding, spraying, woodwork)
Food Production & Cold Storage— Temperature-controlled environments with specific detection requirements
Logistics & Transport Depots— Vehicle bays, fuel storage, maintenance workshops and admin offices

FAQ

Have a question about our Fire Alarm systems? Our team are here to help—see below or get in touch for tailored advice.

What type of fire alarm does my warehouse need?

It depends on the ceiling height, layout, stored materials and your fire risk assessment. High-ceiling spaces typically need beam detectors or aspirating systems. We'll survey your site and recommend the right solution.

How do you handle false alarms in dusty or dirty environments?

We select detector types suited to the environment — heat detectors in dusty areas, beam detectors for high spaces, and aspirating systems where ultra-early detection is needed without nuisance alarms. Careful positioning and regular servicing also help.

Can you work around our production schedule?

Yes. We regularly install and service systems during nights, weekends and planned shutdowns to avoid disrupting your operations.

Can you service a fire alarm installed by another company?

Yes. We inspect, assess and take over existing systems regardless of who installed them.

How often does an industrial fire alarm system need servicing?

BS 5839-1 recommends quarterly inspections and an annual service. Industrial environments may benefit from more frequent checks depending on conditions. We offer flexible maintenance contracts.

Can the fire alarm be linked to other systems?

Yes. Fire alarm outputs can release access control doors, trigger CCTV recording and interface with building management or suppression systems. We'll discuss integration during your survey.

Do you install emergency lighting in industrial buildings?

Yes — escape route and open-area emergency lighting to BS 5266, including high-output fittings for large floor areas and external yards.
