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
Maintenance Contracts The SS Systems Way
Making sure your service provider turns up on time, does what they say they will and provides reports on time can be a job in itself. SS Systems manages fire and security maintenance contracts so our customers receive hassle-free service delivery.
Smarter Access & Security With Electronic Access Control
As security needs continue to evolve, businesses and organisations are moving beyond traditional locks and keys in favour of smarter, more flexible solutions. Electronic Access Control Systems (EACS) provide greater control over who can enter a building and when, while offering valuable features such as real-time access management, audit trails, temporary permissions, mobile credentials and integration with CCTV, alarms and other security systems.
Questions To Ask If Your Fire Alarm Was Installed Before 2006
If your fire alarm system was installed before 2006 using twin and earth (T&E) cable, it may still be operational but it does not comply with current British Standard BS 5839-1:2017. While older installations are not automatically considered unsafe, they should be inspected by a qualified fire alarm engineer, supported by an appropriate risk assessment and maintenance plan. In most commercial, communal, or multi-occupancy buildings, T&E cabling used for sounder and detection circuits should be replaced, particularly if the system is being upgraded, extended, or modified, to meet current fire safety standards.
