Our Residential Fire Alarm Solutions

Survey, Design & Installation

Smoke Detectors

Optical and ionisation detectors for hallways, landings, living areas and bedrooms. We'll recommend the right type for each location based on the risk.

Heat Detectors

For kitchens, garages and utility rooms where smoke detectors would cause false alarms. Heat detectors respond to rapid temperature rise without being triggered by cooking or steam.

Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Essential for any property with gas appliances, boilers, wood burners or open fires. CO is odourless and invisible — a detector is the only way to know it's there.

Interconnected Systems

Wired or wireless interconnection so that when one detector activates, every alarm in the property sounds. Critical in multi-storey homes where you might not hear a single detector from another floor.

Multi-sensor Detectors

Advanced detectors combining smoke and heat sensing for faster, more accurate detection with fewer false alarms.

Maintenance and Fault Support

Door entry systems are used constantly — so reliability matters. We offer maintenance and responsive support to keep:

  • call quality clear
  • entry panels working
  • door release functioning correctly
  • permissions and user lists up to date

FAQ

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

Do I legally need a fire alarm in my home?

Do I legally need a fire alarm in my home?

If you're a homeowner-occupier, there's no legal requirement but it's strongly recommended. If you're a landlord, the law requires at least one smoke alarm on every storey and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a fixed combustion appliance. HMOs have additional requirements depending on the property category.

What's the difference between BS 5839-6 Grade D and Grade A?

What's the difference between BS 5839-6 Grade D and Grade A?

Grade D is the most common for standard homes — mains-powered detectors with battery backup. Grade A is a full fire alarm system with a control panel, typically required in larger HMOs or higher-risk properties. We'll advise which grade applies to your property.

Do you service fire alarms you didn't install?

Do you service fire alarms you didn't install?

Yes. We can take over servicing and maintenance of existing systems, regardless of who installed them.

.

Will the detectors cause false alarms?

Will the detectors cause false alarms?

We position detectors carefully and recommend the right type for each room to minimise false alarms. Heat detectors in kitchens and multi-sensor detectors in living areas significantly reduce nuisance activations.

Can fire alarms be linked to my intruder alarm?

Can fire alarms be linked to my intruder alarm?

In some cases, yes. We can discuss integration options during your survey.
