Fire alarm system design & planning

A great fire alarm system starts long before installation. Our design specialists build a solution around your building’s exact layout, use and fire strategy — never an off-the-shelf compromise. Every design covers:

Detector types (optical, heat, multi-sensor)
Alarm panel requirements and zoning
Sounder and visual alarm device coverage
Manual call point locations
System wiring and cable routes
Cause-and-effect configurations

All designs are produced in line with BS 5839-1, helping support a well documented system from day one.

Certified installation & commissioning

Our engineers install with care and precision — often within live, occupied environments — and rigorously commission every system before handover. That means correct detector positioning, cabling installed to applicable standards, panel programming, full functional testing, sound level verification and complete certification.
