Fire alarm installation in South Croydon

Choosing the right system
Small premises often use a conventional system, where the panel shows which zone has a problem. Larger buildings usually benefit from an addressable system, which pinpoints the exact detector or call point. The choice depends on the size and layout of the building and how it's used.

Categories of protection
Commercial fire alarms are designed to BS 5839-1. Systems are graded by what they protect, from life safety along escape routes to coverage of the whole building to protect property. Your fire risk assessment sets the category your premises needs.

Weekly tests and servicing
A fire alarm should be tested every week by operating a different call point each time, and serviced by a competent person at least every six months. Every test, service and false alarm is recorded in the fire alarm log book.
What to expect from fire alarm installation
We start with your fire risk assessment and a walk round the building to see the layout, escape routes and how each area is used. We then design the system, choose the panel, detectors, call points and sounders, and give you a free quote with the layout.
We install and wire the system, programme the panel and test every device. Before handover, we show the responsible person how to carry out the weekly test, silence and reset the panel and use the log book. You receive the certificates for the installation.

Fire alarm installation questions
Does my business in South Croydon need a fire alarm?
Most businesses need a way to raise the alarm in a fire, and the fire risk assessment decides what's suitable. A small single-storey shop may need very little, while offices, restaurants and larger premises usually need a full system. We can install what your assessment calls for.
Can you upgrade an old fire alarm system in Croydon?
Yes. We can replace an old panel, add detectors to new areas or upgrade a conventional system to an addressable one. Sometimes the existing wiring can be reused, which keeps the cost down. We'll test what's there and explain the options.
How often do fire alarms need servicing?
At least every six months, by a competent person, as recommended in BS 5839-1. Busy or high-risk premises may need more frequent visits. The weekly call point test can be done by your staff, and everything should be recorded in the log book.
What causes false fire alarms in a building?
Common causes include dust, steam or cooking fumes reaching detectors, detectors of the wrong type for the room, and accidental damage to call points. Using heat detectors in kitchens and positioning devices carefully cuts false alarms, which matters because frequent ones make people ignore real alarms.
