Fire alarm installation in Manchester

Choosing the right system
Fire alarm systems are graded by how much protection they give. Some protect escape routes only, while others cover the whole building. The right category comes from your fire risk assessment and the type of building. We design the system to BS 5839 to match it.
- 02
Conventional or addressable
Conventional systems split the building into zones and show which zone has a fire. Addressable systems pinpoint the exact detector or call point that's triggered, which helps in larger buildings. We'll recommend the type that suits your building's size and layout.

Your duties as the responsible person
Under fire safety law, the responsible person for a building must keep the fire alarm working. That means a weekly test using a different call point each time, a logbook of tests and faults, and servicing by a competent person at least every six months.
What to expect from a fire alarm installation
We start with your fire risk assessment and a survey of the building, marking escape routes, rooms and areas of higher risk. We then design a system with detectors, call points, sounders and a panel, and give you a free, no-obligation quote.
We install the panel, cabling and devices, using fire-resistant cable where the standard requires it. Once commissioned, we test every detector, call point and sounder, check the sound levels and hand over the certificate, logbook and instructions for weekly testing.

Fire alarm installation questions
Does my Manchester business need a fire alarm system?
Most businesses need some form of fire detection and warning, but the type depends on the size, layout and use of the premises. A small shop may need only a simple system. Your fire risk assessment sets out what's needed, and we install a system to match.
What fire alarm does an HMO in Manchester need?
HMOs usually need a mains-powered, interlinked system, and larger HMOs often need a panel-based system with call points. The exact requirement depends on the size of the property and the council's licence conditions. We check your property and recommend the right system.
How often should a fire alarm be tested in a Manchester building?
The responsible person should test the system weekly, using a different call point each time, and record it in the logbook. A competent person should service the system at least every six months. We can provide servicing alongside the installation.
Can you upgrade an old fire alarm panel in Manchester?
Yes. If your panel is faulty or parts are no longer made, we can replace it and reuse suitable existing cabling and devices where possible. We test the old system first and explain what can be kept, so you only replace what's needed.
