Our Intruder Alarm Services

Addressable Fire Alarm Systems

Each detector has a unique address, allowing the control panel to pinpoint the exact location of a fire or fault. Ideal for larger or more complex buildings such as offices, schools, hospitals, and multi-storey premises.

Emergency Lighting Systems

We design and install emergency lighting systems in accordance with BS 5266-1and BS EN 1838, ensuring safe evacuation in the event of a mains power failure. We install:

  • Maintained luminaires (always illuminated)
  • Non-maintained luminaires (activate on mains failure)
  • Central battery systems for larger buildings
  • LED upgrades to replace older fluorescent emergency fittings

Emergency lighting covers escape routes, exit doors, stairwells, changes of level, open-plan areas, fire alarm call points, fire-fighting equipment, and first aid points.

Integration with other Systems

We integrate fire alarm systems with:

  • Access control— automatic door release on alarm activation for safe evacuation
  • CCTV— visual verification of alarm activations
  • Intruder alarms— combined monitoring and response
  • Intercom & door entry— coordinated building management

One provider. One point of contact. Complete peace of mind.

FAQ

Have questions about Fire or Emergency Lighting Systems? Our friendly team is here to help. See below for answers, or get in touch for tailored advice.

What is the difference between an addressable and a conventional fire alarm system?

What is the difference between an addressable and a conventional fire alarm system?

A conventional system divides your building into zones — when a detector activates, the control panel shows which zone is affected. An addressable system gives every detector its own unique address, so the panel pinpoints the exact device that has triggered. Addressable systems are recommended for larger or more complex buildings as they allow faster identification of the fire location.
