Installation, upgrades and system design
Fire alarm systems can be installed in new buildings or added to existing premises. Upgrades and replacements are available for older systems that no longer meet current requirements or performance expectations.
Most commercial systems are designed in accordance with fire engineer specifications. Wired systems are commonly used for reliability, though wireless options can be considered where appropriate for the site.
Compliance, certification and BWOF support
For commercial buildings, fire alarm systems form part of Building Warrant of Fitness (BWOF) obligations. As Independently Qualified Persons (IQPs), we can carry out required inspections and servicing, issuing documentation such as Form 12A certificates where applicable.
All prescribed work is completed in accordance with relevant regulations, with independent certification arranged where required for higher-level systems.
Maintenance and monitoring support
Regular servicing helps ensure fire alarm systems remain operational and compliant.
Maintenance schedules can be arranged to meet regulatory requirements and reduce the risk of faults going undetected.
While external monitoring is typically provided by specialist monitoring companies, systems can be configured to integrate with those services. Faults or alarms can trigger notifications that enable a rapid response.
24/7 emergency call-out service
Fire alarm faults or activations require prompt attention. Emergency support is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with qualified technicians responding to urgent issues across residential, commercial and industrial sites.
Having local support available around the clock helps minimise downtime and maintain safety while faults are investigated and resolved.
