Fire Alarm Systems for Licenced Premises in Surrey


Compliant fire detection for pubs, bars, clubs, hotels and venues across Surrey


Licensed premises face unique fire safety challenges — high occupancy, multiple floors, kitchens, bars, cellars, function rooms and public areas that all need appropriate detection. Your fire alarm system needs to protect staff and visitors, satisfy your fire risk assessment and support your licensing conditions.


OC Services designs, installs and maintains fire alarm systems for licensed premises across Surrey. We understand the specific demands of hospitality environments and deliver systems that are reliable, compliant and practical for busy venues.

Our Fire Alarm Solutions for Licenced Properties

Survey, Design & Installation

Addressable Fire Alarm Systems

Pinpoint detection across complex layouts — bars, kitchens, function rooms, corridors, cellars and accommodation floors. The panel identifies exactly which detector has activated, speeding up response and reducing disruption from false alarms.

Conventional Fire Alarm Systems

A cost-effective option for smaller venues with simpler layouts. Zone-based detection with clear panel indication.

Heat Detectors for Kitchens & Bar Areas

Purpose-designed for high-temperature, steam-heavy environments where smoke detectors would cause constant false alarms.

Emergency Lighting

Illuminated escape routes, exit signs and open-area lighting to guide staff and customers to safety during a power failure or evacuation. BS 5266 compliant.

Manual Call Points, Sounders & Visual Alarms

Break-glass points at exits and throughout the premises, with sounders loud enough to be heard over music, conversation and kitchen noise. Visual alarm devices (VADs) where needed.

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

Typical Scenarios

  • High footfall and variable occupancy— Systems designed for venues that go from quiet afternoons to packed evenings
  • Kitchen and cooking environments— Heat detectors and careful zoning to avoid false alarms without compromising safety
  • Multi-floor layouts— Cellars, ground-floor bars, upstairs function rooms and staff/guest accommodation all covered
  • Noise levels— Sounders and VADs positioned to ensure alarms are heard and seen in every area
  • Licensing and compliance— Systems designed to support your fire risk assessment and licensing conditions
  • Guest accommodation— Hotels, B&Bs and venues with overnight stays need detection in every bedroom and escape route
