If your building needs a new or upgraded fire alarm, you need it designed right, fitted neatly and signed off without fuss. Our own experienced engineers design and install commercial fire alarm systems across the West Midlands, from small offices to large warehouses.
Accredited & approved
Most people come to us at one of these moments:
A new building, fit-out or extension that needs a system signed off.
A change of use, so the old alarm no longer matches the building.
An old panel that keeps faulting and can't be repaired any more.
A fire risk assessment or insurer that says the system isn't good enough.
Get the design wrong and you pay twice: false alarms, failed sign-off or ripping work out later. Get it right once and it just works.

We're SAFE Fire & Security Systems, a BAFE registered and NSI approved fire alarm company based on Shelah Road in Halesowen, installing fire alarm systems across the West Midlands.
SAFE was set up by best mates Martin and Adam, engineers who learned the trade at large national companies and wanted to give local businesses a more personal service. The work is led by our own experienced engineers, alongside two apprentices we're training up.
You're welcome to visit our in-house training suite and demo room to see the kit working before you decide anything. Why choose SAFE.
Detectors are wired in zones. When one goes off, the panel shows which zone, and someone checks the area.
Every detector and call point has its own address, so the panel tells you exactly which device has triggered.
We design to BS 5839-1 and your fire risk assessment, and recommend the simplest system that properly protects your building. Wireless and hybrid options work well where cabling is difficult.
Standard point detectors don't suit every space. For high roofs, dusty areas and cable routes, we use detection designed for the job.
A beam is sent across a large open space to a reflector or receiver. Smoke in the beam triggers the alarm. Good for warehouses, sports halls and atriums with high ceilings, where point detectors are hard to reach and maintain.
A small fan draws air through pipes to a sensitive detector unit, often known by the brand name VESDA. It picks up smoke very early and keeps the detector in one accessible place. Suits server rooms, high-bay warehouses, clean areas and places where detectors would be damaged or tampered with.
A cable that detects heat along its whole length. It suits places where smoke detectors would false alarm or can't be fitted: cable trays, conveyors, loading bays, car parks and cold or dusty areas.
A fire alarm often needs to do more than sound. Using relays and interface units, we link it to your other building systems so they react the moment the alarm goes off:
We agree the cause-and-effect with you, test every interface at commissioning and record it in your paperwork.
Call 0333 224 0247 or fill in the form. An engineer visits your premises, sees what you need or looks through your service records, and talks you through it.
A system design, what's included and how the work will be planned around your business. You'll know exactly what's involved before any work starts.
We install, commission and hand over with certificates and training, then keep your records in your customer portal.
Offices, shops, retail parks and mixed-use buildings, with a neat finish and work planned around opening hours.
Factories and workshops, with detection that copes with dust, heat, high roofs and shift work, and interfaces to plant and machinery.
Large open spaces and high racking, often with beam or aspirating detection, plus links to doors, roller shutters and plant.
Enhanced DBS-checked engineers, with work planned around the school day and done in the school holidays where possible.
Careful planning around residents, with systems and records ready for inspection.
The right grade of system for the property, with paperwork ready for licensing.
Surgeries and clinics where downtime has to be kept to a minimum.

BAFE and NSI approval mean independent inspectors check our fire alarm work, which is exactly the proof insurers and fire officers want to see. Read why BAFE and NSI accreditation matters.
