Fire Alarms

Fire alarms are a fundamental part of any fire protection system, designed to detect the presence of smoke, heat, or flames and provide an immediate audible and/or visual warning. This early warning is essential in allowing building occupants enough time to evacuate safely, particularly in busy or multi-storey buildings where delays can have serious consequences. A well-maintained fire alarm system not only saves lives but also reduces the risk of extensive property damage, operational downtime, and costly repairs following a fire.

In the UK, fire alarms are not optional—they’re a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 for almost all non-domestic premises. Having a suitable fire detection system is essential for demonstrating compliance and fulfilling your duty of care to employees, tenants, visitors, and contractors. Regular testing and professional servicing of these systems is also required to ensure continued compliance with British Standards (BS 5839). FireRite works with clients across sectors to ensure they meet these obligations with systems that are both effective and reliable.

Commercial fire alarm installation is a vital part of any business's fire protection plan, providing the first line of defence in the event of a fire. These systems are designed to detect smoke, heat, or flame at the earliest opportunity and trigger a rapid alert to occupants and emergency services. Every commercial environment is different—offices, retail units, warehouses, restaurants, and healthcare settings each present unique risks. That’s why a one-size-fits-all approach simply isn’t enough. At FireRite, we take a consultative approach to every project, carefully assessing the layout, usage, and fire risk of your premises to design a system that provides comprehensive coverage and reliable early warning. Whether you require a conventional, addressable, or wireless system, our experienced engineers ensure that the solution installed is both technically sound and fully compliant with BS 5839 and UK fire safety legislation.

Our commercial fire alarm installation service includes everything from initial consultation and design through to professional installation, commissioning, and staff handover. We work closely with facilities managers, business owners, landlords, and contractors to ensure the installation meets operational needs without disrupting daily activity. Our engineers are trained to work efficiently and safely in live commercial environments, minimising downtime and ensuring seamless integration with other life safety systems, such as emergency lighting or remote monitoring. Once the system is installed and fully tested, we provide all necessary documentation, certification, and support for ongoing maintenance. With FireRite, you can be confident that your business is protected by a reliable, legally compliant, and professionally installed fire alarm system.

Proper installation is critical to the performance of a fire alarm system. At FireRite, our certified engineers carry out detailed site surveys and risk assessments to design a bespoke solution that meets both regulatory standards and the practical needs of your site. Installation is carried out to a high standard with minimal disruption to your daily operations. Following installation, systems are fully commissioned, tested, and certified to ensure they operate correctly in all scenarios. We also provide staff training where required, so that those responsible know how to operate and respond to the system appropriately.

Once installed, fire alarm systems require regular servicing to remain compliant and operational. BS 5839 recommends that fire alarms be inspected at least every six months, and more frequently for higher-risk or larger premises. Our maintenance packages include thorough testing of all components—detectors, call points, panels, sounders, batteries—and detailed reporting to demonstrate compliance and support insurance requirements. By choosing FireRite for your fire alarm servicing, you gain peace of mind that your system is being maintained by experienced professionals who prioritise reliability, safety, and long-term value.
