    Fire Alarm Systems Maintenance

    Fire Extinguishers

    You are legally responsible to ensure there are enough fire extinguishers on your premises.

    In addition to ensuring that you comply with the laws relevant to your industry and the size of your site. A risk assessment will provide how many fire extinguishers and ancillary products are required to protect your site.

    Fire Safety Training

    Fire safety is a fundamental part of any business and training is the corner stone of implementing any fire safety policy.

    Legislation via the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires employers to provide training for all employees in actions to be taken in the event of a fire.

     

    Emergency lighting

    Emergency lighting is part of a building’s fire safety provision and is a requirement of The Regulatory Reform Order of 2005.

    In the event of the mains power lighting failing or a power cut, emergency lighting can save lives by aiding in the safe evacuation of people within the building.

    Fire Alarm Monitoring

    Our Monitored Fire Alarm Systems offer you protection 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for complete peace of mind.

    Your Fire Alarms System is monitored at a central station for a fast response to your key holder and the local fire and rescue services.

    Aspirating Systems

    An aspiration detection system (ADS) is a highly sensitive form of fire detection that can detect a fire at an early stage. The system takes samples of the air and tests them for the presence of smoke.

    The air is drawn by a pump from the various test points.

    Fire Suppression

    Fire suppression systems are used as a safer and more advanced alternative to typical fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems and water mist systems. These systems not only prioritise occupant safety, but also protect your property and assets in the event of a fire.

    SS Systems Limited have been installing fire alarm systems for over 20 years and have extensive experience in the heritage sector, education, commercial buildings, hotel and leisure and HMO/student accommodation.

    We are BAFE SP203-1 and SP101 registered, Third Party accredited (meaning we can verify other installer’s work) and maintain our ISO 9001:2015 registration.

    From a health and safety perspective we are CHAS accredited, registered with SafeContractor and are Constructionline gold members.

    We use a range of manufacturers including EMS Firecell, Notifier, Advanced, Kentec with Apollo or Hochiki protocol.

    Each building and the site requirements will be unique to each client.  That is why we come to site first to speak with you, undertake a site survey and find out how you will use the system.

    We will then produce a free of charge design and quotation for you to consider and discuss with us.

    We are particularly adept at designing complex systems (though we can do simple ones too) that are linked to door access control, smoke vents, sprinkler systems and many more.  We can incorporate class change and lockdown systems, voice alarms and monitoring all of which is tailored to your needs.

    SS Systems are not in the business of selling you something that you don’t need.  We appreciate that a fire alarm system can be expensive and we work with our clients to provide cost effective solutions.  Our design engineers are well-versed in extending fire alarm systems and can provide advice to you on how to maintain compliance and value for money so please ask us.

    At the end of the installation our engineers will talk you through how to set and unset the system and how to understand the messages on screen for fault finding.

    You will also receive a manual containing step by step instructions.
