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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Fire Systems & Services
Is Your Business Prepared For Martyn’s Law Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025
Martyn's Law requires certain public venues and events to take reasonable steps to prepare for and respond to a potential terrorist attack. The law, officially the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, establishes a tiered system based on the venue's capacity, requiring smaller "standard tier" venues to focus on policy and procedures, while larger "enhanced tier" venues must go further to reduce their vulnerability to attacks. Key requirements include risk assessments, staff training, and implementing security measures.
Weekly Fire Alarm Testing Guidance
Weekly fire alarm testing is vital to ensure the reliability and readiness of the fire detection and alarm system in protecting life and property. Regular tests confirm that alarm sounders, manual call points, and signalling paths, including connections to any Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC), are functioning correctly and that any faults are identified and addressed promptly. Conducting tests at the same time each week also helps occupants recognise the alarm sound and reinforces fire safety awareness, while providing early warning of potential system issues before an actual emergency occurs.
