Our expert team of CHAS-approved fire alarm engineers deliver professional installations in line with BS 5839 and the latest UK regulations. We design and install both conventional and addressable alarm systems, ensuring every detector, manual call point, and associated device is positioned for optimal fire detection coverage. From small commercial units to large-scale industrial sites, we tailor every installation to meet the unique needs of your premises.
Choosing the right fire alarm system is about more than just fitting equipment – it’s about ensuring the system functions properly when it matters most. That’s why we don’t just install systems; we also test, commission, and explain how to use them. Your new fire alarm will be fully operational from day one, with clear documentation and support for weekly testing and ongoing compliance.
A well-designed fire alarm system begins with a detailed understanding of your building and its use. Our fire alarm design process starts with a thorough fire risk assessment, allowing us to determine the most effective arrangement of devices, call points, and detectors to ensure the safety of occupants and compliance with all legal requirements.
We design fire alarm systems in accordance with British Standards, particularly BS 5839, and the requirements for non-domestic premises. This includes choosing appropriate detection technology, such as smoke or heat detectors, understanding escape routes, and incorporating manual call points in accessible and visible areas. A well-thought-out design helps reduce false alarms while improving the speed and reliability of emergency responses.
Our designers work closely with contractors, architects, and building managers to ensure the system installed integrates seamlessly with your property’s layout and infrastructure. Whether you’re planning a new build or refurbishing an existing building, our team is here to deliver professional fire alarm design services that save lives and support long-term fire safety.
Ongoing fire alarm servicing is essential to ensure your fire alarm system remains in full working order and meets its legal requirements. Many businesses overlook this part of their fire safety strategy, but failing to carry out regular servicing can lead to system failures, increased risk, and non-compliance with UK legislation.
At Expert Fire Solutions, we provide routine servicing, inspection, and testing carried out by a competent person, in accordance with BS 5839. Our servicing visits cover the full system – including control panels, detectors, call points, sounders, and the sensing chamber – to confirm that everything is adequately maintained and fully operational. We also check for signs of damage, battery life, and the need for any repairs or additional work.
If any issues are identified during a visit, we provide clear guidance and, where possible, fix the problem on the spot. Our professional fire alarm servicing ensures your system remains safe, compliant, and ready to perform. Whether you need annual checks or biannual visits, we offer flexible maintenance contracts to suit your premises and budget.
Fire alarm commissioning is the final but vital step to ensure your new system is functioning exactly as it should. Once the installation is complete, our qualified engineers carry out rigorous testing, checks, and system configuration to verify every component works correctly – from manual call points to control panels and sounders.
During the installation commissioning process, we confirm that the fire alarm system has been correctly installed in accordance with the approved design, that all wiring and connections are secure, and that the system operates effectively in a simulated emergency. This stage is critical to preventing false alarms and ensuring the system responds quickly in the event of a fire.
All our commissioning work is fully documented, providing evidence of compliance with British Standards and the fire safety order. We also offer handover training to the responsible person, ensuring they understand how to perform weekly testing, respond to alerts, and arrange for future servicing. For a complete safety solution, we also provide fire extinguisher servicing and emergency lighting maintenance to support your full fire protection strategy.
