BS 8629-compliant design & installation

Following the Grenfell Tower tragedy, evacuation alert systems have become a critical life-safety measure for tall residential buildings. As an accredited contractor, we design and install systems that give fire and rescue services precise, controlled command over building evacuation.

Our design phase includes:

  • Bespoke evacuation zone layouts
  • Panel placement in line with BS 8629 guidance
  • Components tested to EN 54 Parts 2 and 4
  • Best practice reinforced by post-Grenfell recommendations

Commissioning, certification & robust technology

We install proven, high-reliability evacuation alert technology. Every system undergoes full functional testing, zone-by-zone verification, EN 54 compliance checks and programming for phased or full evacuation — with complete documentation for building control and fire authorities.
