Fire alarm installation for Loughborough buildings
The East Midlands mixes university cities, converted mills and warehouses, market towns and some of the UK's biggest distribution parks along the M1 corridor.
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 Loughborough
Rented homes in England must have a smoke alarm on each storey used as living accommodation and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a fixed combustion appliance, other than a gas cooker. HMO licence conditions set by the local council often go further and call for a mains-wired, interlinked system to BS 5839-6.
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
