Fire alarm and emergency lighting for commercial buildings that stay open while we work

We install, commission and certify fire alarm and emergency lighting systems, from detectors and call points to emergency fittings and exit signs, and can test and service them afterwards.

Fire alarm work in non-domestic buildings follows BS 5839-1, and emergency lighting follows BS 5266-1. The building's fire risk assessment and fire strategy set what's needed, such as how much of the building the alarm covers and which escape routes need emergency lighting, so we work from them and from your drawings.

At handover you get the fire alarm installation and commissioning certificates, the emergency lighting completion certificate and a log book for each system. Once the building is in use, the responsible person has to keep both systems tested, with a weekly fire alarm test, a monthly emergency lighting check and periodic servicing, which we can carry out for you.

We keep to your programme. In buildings that are in use, the work is planned around the people using them, with shutdowns out of hours or area by area.

Everything is tested before handover. The electrical installation is certified to BS 7671 by a NICEIC Approved Contractor, and the certificates and test results come with the rest of the handover paperwork.
