The problem

Is your fire alarm actually up to scratch?

If you’re the responsible person, the fire alarm is your duty, even if someone else fitted it. These are the problems we find most often:

1

Faults showing on the panel that nobody has dealt with.

2

No service record for the last six months.

3

A system that no longer suits how the building is used, or an installer who has gone quiet.

Left alone, that can mean questions from your insurer, action from the fire service, or people at risk.

Four-building site
“Highly recommend SAFE Fire & Security Systems. We brought them in to manage a complex, four-building site, and the transition has been flawless. The management and office team (Adam, Martin, Donna) are responsive and great to deal with, while the engineers on the ground deliver top-level craftsmanship. What really stands out is their rock-solid knowledge of the newer BS 5839-1:2025 regulations—they don't cut corners and they know exactly what they are doing. A thoroughly professional outfit that is a pleasure to work with”

Church, maintenance contract
“Martin came out to look at our fire alarm system and managed to get it working when no one else could. He then proposed a phased upgrade for us which we are implementing. Throughout the process he has been knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. We have taken out a maintenance contract with him. New Life Baptist Church”
