FIRE SYSTEMS & SERVICES
UK fire safety legislation requires businesses to assess fire risks and take appropriate steps to protect people on their premises.
It is essential when choosing a fire alarm system, that the type of system is one that is suited to protecting the safety of your people and property.
In the event of a small fire in your premises, the ability to react quickly is vital.
A Fire Suppression system suppresses a fire through releasing an agent to either reduce the oxygen, reduce the chemical reaction within the atmosphere or cool the fire.
Fire safety training helps ensure employees understand fire risks, evacuation procedures and the actions required in an emergency.
Fire curtains provide an effective fire-resistant barrier, helping maintain compartmentation and protect escape routes within commercial buildings.
Commercial kitchen fire suppression systems provide specialist automatic protection for cooking equipment and higher-risk kitchen environments.
Service and maintenance contracts for your fire and security systems are critical to keeping your system up and running when you need it most.
Emergency lighting helps occupants safely find escape routes and exits when normal lighting fails during an emergency.
Fire sprinkler systems can automatically control or suppress a developing fire, helping protect people, property and the wider environment.
Evacuation chairs provide a practical means of assisting people who may require additional support during an emergency evacuation.
Aspirating smoke detection systems provide highly sensitive early warning by continuously sampling air for the presence of smoke.
Automatic opening smoke vents help remove smoke and hot air, protecting escape routes and supporting safe evacuation during a fire.
Dry and wet riser systems provide firefighters with rapid access to water supplies throughout multi-storey buildings during an emergency.
Nimbus provides cloud-based fire alarm management, giving you remote visibility, event notifications and digital records across your fire systems.
Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Fire Systems & Services
Crossover between BS 5839 and Building Safety Legislation
The increasing focus on building safety compliance has highlighted the important crossover between British Standards Institution standard BS 5839 and wider building safety legislation. While BS 5839 provides detailed guidance on the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of fire detection and fire alarm systems, legislation introduced through the Building Safety Act 2022 and ongoing fire safety reforms has placed greater responsibility on building owners, duty holders and responsible persons to demonstrate effective fire risk management.
