UK fire alarm regulations state that all business premises in the UK should be equipped with a suitable fire detection system. This legal requirement is crucial for ensuring system design and installations are fire-safe. It allows for the swift detection of fires and protects individuals inside the building by alerting them promptly of fire dangers, preventing fire threats and hazards to human life.
All of our installations are in line with British standards which ensure compliance with legal obligations for your business and more importantly, the safety of occupants. Get in touch for a free site survey and guarantee your commercial buildings are fire-safe.
“An appropriate fire detection system” is needed in the place of business, according to UK fire alarm regulations.
A commercial fire alarm system can help protect business assets such as inventory and equipment from fire damage.
Early detection ensures occupants have the maximum amount of time to evacuate a building safely in case of fire.
We perform commercial fire alarm installations for Glasgow and Edinburgh businesses, with a wide range of fire alarm types to choose from:
Commercial fire alarm systems are crucial for your fire safety and early fire detection, enabling timely evacuation and minimising damage to property. Our fire alarms are tailored to fit the architectural variety and functional needs of buildings across Edinburgh, varying in complexity based on each specific scenario. Common types of commercial fire alarm systems include:
Wired fire alarm systems have physical cables that link together all fire alarm components, ensuring reliability through direct connections. They are particularly suitable for buildings currently under construction or those undergoing significant renovations.
Wireless fire alarm systems utilise radio frequency signals to link fire detectors and alarms, offering a flexible and minimally invasive solution. Ideal for existing buildings, these systems are easy to install, reconfigure, and test making them cost-effective and reliable for fire detection.
Hybrid fire alarm systems blend wired and wireless components to provide versatile installation and expansion options. These systems can be customised to meet the unique needs of any building, combining the advantages of both wired and wireless technologies.
Addressable fire alarm systems are ideal for large office buildings or complexes, offering precise monitoring capabilities. Every device is uniquely addressed, enabling the exact identification of activated components for quicker incident response and streamlined maintenance.
Non-addressable fire alarm systems are simpler and more economical than their addressable counterparts, yet offer less precision. Devices are grouped into zones without specific identification, and activation reveals only the zone, not the individual device.
Standalone fire alarm systems operate independently without the need for connection to other systems, making them ideal for landlords managing residential properties. These systems are common in homes and offer localised alerts that do not require central monitoring services or a central control panel.
Multiple fire alarm systems are interconnected, often across several buildings or sites. Networked fire alarm systems allow centralised monitoring and control, making it much easier to perform important maintenance such as weekly fire alarm testing at your Edinburgh property. They are ideal for campuses, large corporations, or facilities with multiple locations. Networked fire alarm systems are easier to manage and scale when expansion occurs.
Smoke detectors are vital for early fire detection and can significantly enhance safety in any commercial fire alarm system. There are several types of smoke detectors available for your business, including options for fast-flaming and smouldering fires. These smoke alarm systems can be seamlessly integrated into both new and existing conventional fire alarms, ensuring comprehensive fire protection for your Edinburgh business.
