Fire Alarm & Extinguisher Installation
Fire alarm system and fire extinguisher installation
Protecting People, Property and Premises with the Right Fire Safety Equipment
Electrical Testing UK designs and installs fire alarm systems and fire extinguisher provisions for businesses, site operators and public sector organisations. Fire detection and suppression equipment are a legal requirement for most commercial premises. Therefore, getting the right system in place matters. Our qualified engineers handle everything from a single commercial smoke alarm system to a fully addressable fire alarm installation across a large commercial or industrial site. In addition, we provide full commissioning, certification and handover documentation as standard.
Key Features Include
commercial and industrial Installation
We install fire alarm systems and extinguisher provisions across all property types, from commercial premises and HMOs through to large industrial facilities and multi-building public sector estates.
Design and System Specification
Every installation begins with a survey. We design the system to BS 5839 and relevant British Standards, specifying the correct category of protection, detector types and extinguisher classes for the building, occupancy and risk profile.
Full Commissioning and Certification
All fire alarm systems are fully commissioned and tested on completion, with a commissioning certificate and system documentation issued as standard and provided in the format required by your insurer and fire risk assessor.
Extinguisher Supply and Installation
We supply and install the correct type and number of fire extinguishers for your premises in accordance with BS 5306, positioning them correctly and providing the signage and documentation required for compliance.
Ongoing Maintenance Available
We offer ongoing fire alarm servicing and extinguisher maintenance following installation, ensuring your fire safety equipment remains compliant and fully operational throughout its service life.
Fire Alarm and Extinguisher Installation for Every Type of Property
Fire Alarm Installation for Site Operators and Facilities Teams
Site operators increasingly choose interlinked smoke and heat alarm systems. As a result, the whole site is protected rather than relying on individual battery-powered detectors. We install interlinked mains-powered alarm systems for commercial premises. In addition, we offer radio-interlinked options for buildings where running cables is impractical.
Conventional Fire Alarm Systems for Small and Medium Commercial Premises
Smaller commercial premises, offices, retail units and small industrial units often suit a conventional system. Therefore, we divide the system into clearly defined zones, which is usually the most cost-effective solution. We design and install conventional systems to BS 5839-1. Moreover, we specify the correct category for the occupancy and provide full commissioning certification on completion.
Addressable Fire Alarm Systems for Large Commercial and Industrial Sites
Larger or more complex buildings need an addressable system. Here, every detector and device has a unique address on the panel. As a result, the panel pinpoints the device in alarm and the response is faster and more targeted. We design and install addressable systems for large commercial premises, warehouses, industrial facilities, schools and healthcare buildings. Where required, we also integrate with building management systems, suppression systems and monitoring centres.
Fire Extinguisher Supply and Installation for Commercial Premises
The correct type, number and placement of fire extinguishers is determined by the fire risk assessment and BS 5306-8. The wrong extinguisher in the wrong location provides inadequate protection. In fact, it can make a fire worse. Therefore, we supply and install the correct types for your specific risks, whether water, CO2, foam, dry powder or wet chemical. Each one is positioned correctly, wall-mounted or on a stand, with the required signage and a commissioning record for your fire safety file.
Fire Safety Systems for Public Sector and Local Authority Buildings
Schools, council buildings, NHS premises and social housing need systems that meet specific standards for their occupancy type. In addition, these systems must be maintained to a documented programme. We carry out fire alarm installations for public sector clients across single sites and multi-building estates. As a result, you get consistent standards, programme management and consolidated documentation.
Survey to Certified Handover
Surveying Your Premises and Assessing Your Fire Safety Requirements
Every installation begins with a survey of your property. We assess the building layout, occupancy type, escape routes and existing fire safety provisions. We also note any specific risks that will affect the system design. For smaller commercial properties, this is usually a straightforward visit. For larger or more complex buildings, however, we produce a formal design proposal first. This sets out the system category, zone layout, device specification and extinguisher schedule before any work begins.
Designing Your Fire Alarm System to the Correct British Standard
Fire alarm systems for commercial and public sector premises are designed to BS 5839-1. The correct category depends on the occupancy, the risk assessment and the building’s fire strategy. As a result, the right system can range from a basic system for a small commercial premises to a fully addressable Category L1 system for a high-risk building. Therefore, we specify the right system for your building, not the cheapest or easiest to install.
Installing and Commissioning Your Fire Alarm System
Our own qualified engineers carry out the installation. We install all cabling, devices and panels to the design specification and the relevant British Standard. On completion, we fully commission the system. In addition, we test every device, verify every zone and confirm every output function before handover. We then issue a commissioning certificate and provide a full set of system documentation, including zone plans, device schedules and operating instructions.
Supplying and Positioning Fire Extinguishers Correctly
We position extinguishers at the locations set out in the fire risk assessment and BS 5306-8. Each one is fitted at the correct height and with the required signage. We also provide a commissioning record for your fire safety file. Finally, we brief your nominated staff on the correct use of each extinguisher type provided.
