Detect and alert to fire.
Fire alarms are one of the most critical components of any commercial fire safety system, providing early detection and warning in the event of a fire. For businesses, offices, warehouses and public buildings, having the correct fire alarm system in place is not only essential for protecting lives and property, but also a legal requirement.

Under UK legislation, all commercial premises must have an appropriate fire detection and alarm system installed, maintained and regularly tested to ensure it remains fully operational. This responsibility falls to the ‘responsible person’ within the business, who must ensure systems meet current safety standards and are suitable for the level of risk present within the building. All commercial fire alarm systems in the UK should be designed, installed and maintained in line with British Standard BS 5839, which provides guidance on ensuring the correct level of protection for your premises. This includes selecting the right category of system, coverage level, and detection methods based on your building layout and usage.
There are several types of fire alarm systems available, depending on the size and complexity of your premises:
