QUICK ANSWERS
Do you install new fire alarm systems?
Yes. This service covers new installations, replacement systems and the fitting of a compliant fire detection solution for a property or building.
What is the difference between fire alarm installation and a fire risk assessment?
A fire risk assessment identifies what the building needs. Fire alarm installation is the physical fitting and commissioning of the system once the requirements are known.
Who usually needs a fire alarm installation?
Homeowners, landlords, commercial property owners and managing agents often need a fire alarm installation for new builds, refurbishments, changes of use or ageing systems.
What the FAI actually records.
A fire alarm installation may be required when a building has no suitable fire detection system, when an existing one is outdated or when a property is being reconfigured. The project can range from a simple domestic system to a more complex commercial arrangement with linked devices and alarm zoning.
The right specification depends on the building type, occupancy, layout and the level of protection needed. A properly designed system should account for escape routes, occupancy patterns and the way alarm signals are heard and acted upon.
When a fire alarm system is being installed, the work should be planned around compliance, reliability and noise coverage. It is not only about placing detectors; it is about ensuring the system works clearly and promptly if a fire risk arises.

Asked about Fire Alarm Installation.
Not necessarily. A smoke alarm may be enough for a basic domestic setup, while a property with more complex occupancy or more rooms may require a fuller fire alarm system with multiple detection points and alarm zoning.
No. Residential properties may also need a new system or upgrade, particularly in older homes or where a property has been extended or altered.
Yes. A quote is often the best first step, especially if the property has not yet been surveyed and the system requirements have not been confirmed.
