Fire alarm installation for Aberdeen buildings
Aberdeen's granite city centre, offshore-sector offices and multi-storey housing blocks bring a mix of commercial servicing and residential fire safety work.
A fire alarm system is only as good as its design. Before we quote, we look at how your building is used, who sleeps in it, how people get out, and what your fire risk assessment says. That tells us which category of system you need, from a basic L5 or M system for a small shop to a full L1 system covering every room in a care home.
We install conventional panels for small premises, addressable systems for larger or more complex buildings, and radio (wireless) systems where cabling would damage historic fabric or disrupt occupants. Every system is commissioned against its design, and you receive a design, installation and commissioning certificate along with as-fitted drawings, a zone plan and a logbook.
The rules that apply in Aberdeen
Since February 2022, every home in Scotland must have interlinked fire alarms: a smoke alarm in the living room, a smoke alarm in every circulation space such as hallways and landings, and a heat alarm in the kitchen, plus a carbon monoxide alarm where there is a fixed combustion appliance or flue.
What is included
- Site survey and review of your fire risk assessment
- System category recommendation (L1 to L5, M, P1 or P2)
- Detector, sounder, beacon and call point layout drawings
- Cause and effect matrix for door holders, lifts, AOVs and plant shutdown
- Installation in fire-resisting cable (standard or enhanced)
- Commissioning, handover training and certification
- Logbook, zone chart and as-fitted drawings
- Optional remote monitoring to an alarm receiving centre
