What Does Fire Alarm Installation Include?

Our fire alarm installation service covers system design, equipment supply, installation work and commissioning to BS 5839-1:2017 standards. We survey your building, assess occupancy and fire risks, then design a system that meets regulatory requirements and your operational needs.

Installation includes all detection devices, control panels, sounders, manual call points and associated wiring. We provide full commissioning, testing documentation and handover training, then arrange ongoing maintenance to keep your system compliant and operational.

How Long Does Fire Alarm Installation Take?

Installation timeframes depend on building size, system complexity and access requirements. A basic conventional system in a small office typically takes 1-2 days, while large addressable installations across multiple floors may require several weeks with phased commissioning.

We plan installation work around your operational needs, often working outside normal hours to avoid disrupting business activities. Complex installations include staged testing and commissioning to ensure each zone operates correctly before final handover.

What Happens After Installation?

Once installation and commissioning are complete, we provide complete handover documentation including system drawings, device schedules and operating instructions. We arrange staff training on system operation and evacuation procedures where required.

Your new fire alarm system requires regular maintenance and testing to remain compliant. We can arrange immediate transition to our maintenance programme, ensuring continuous compliance and avoiding any gaps in your fire safety provision.

Do You Handle Failed Inspections?

If your existing fire alarm system has failed inspection or requires urgent upgrades to meet current standards, we provide failed inspection support including emergency repairs and system replacements. We also offer fault diagnosis services for systems experiencing operational problems.

Many building owners discover compliance issues during routine inspections or insurance reviews. We can assess your current system, identify required upgrades and implement solutions that bring your fire alarm provision up to current BS 5839 standards.
