How we can help

Server rooms and IT suites hold the systems your organisation can’t run without, and even a small fire can cause major disruption. The aim is to spot trouble early and protect sensitive equipment.

We provide fire alarms tuned for early detection, the right extinguishers (clean agents that won’t damage electronics), emergency lighting and signage, and fire risk assessments — keeping your critical kit, and the people around it, protected.

Fire Alarm Systems

A fire alarm gives everyone the earliest possible warning, so people can get out safely and the fire brigade can be called straight away.

How we help

Whatever you need — upgrading an older system, cutting down on false alarms in a block of flats, or fitting a wireless alarm in a day with no mess and no wiring — we can sort it. Our local engineers cover the whole of the South West and look after systems of every size, from a single shop to a large hospital, including listed buildings.

We design, install, commission and maintain alarms to the British Standard (BS5839), and there are three main types to choose from:

  • Conventional — a simple, cost-effective system that tells you which area, or ‘zone’, a fire is in. Ideal for smaller premises.
  • Addressable — a smarter system that pinpoints the exact device that has triggered, so a fire is quicker to find and the system is easier to manage.
  • Wireless (radio) — no cabling, so it is perfect for listed buildings, holiday lets and anywhere you cannot afford disruption. It can often be fitted in a day.

Fire Extinguishers

Having the right extinguisher to hand can stop a small fire turning into a disaster. We supply, fit and service every type.

The right cover

Most fire risk assessments call for extinguishers, and we make sure you have the correct ones for your building. Our engineers are BAFE accredited, and we service every extinguisher each year so it is always ready to use.

Different fires need different extinguishers, so we will match them to your risks:

  • Water — for paper, wood and textiles. The classic red extinguisher you will see in offices and schools.
  • Foam — for the same materials plus flammable liquids, smothering the flames.
  • CO₂ — clean and mess-free, ideal for electrical equipment and IT.
  • Powder — a versatile all-rounder, including for flammable liquids and live electrics.
  • Wet chemical — specially for cooking-oil fires in kitchens.

We can also supply specialist units, including for lithium-ion battery risks, and service your fire hose reels.

Fire Risk Assessments

By law, most businesses must have a fire risk assessment. We arrange one for you, carried out by independent experts.

What it involves

A fire risk assessment is a legal requirement for anyone employing five or more people, as well as licensed premises, public buildings and shared residential properties such as HMOs.

An assessor walks through your building, spots anything that could start or help spread a fire, and gives you a clear, easy-to-follow action plan showing exactly what, if anything, needs putting right.

We use fully independent, accredited assessors, so the advice you get is completely impartial. Their reports use the nationally recognised PAS79+ format, and we can quote — with no obligation — for any work that is needed.

Emergency Lighting

If the power fails during a fire, emergency lighting keeps escape routes lit so everyone can find their way out.

Always ready

The moment the mains power goes off, emergency lighting switches on by itself and guides everyone safely to the exits. We have been installing and maintaining it for many years, in shops, offices, flats and HMOs.

We fit all types — from bulkhead LED fittings to discreet architectural lights, intelligent self-testing systems and central battery setups — and make sure everything meets the BS5266 standard.

Our engineers will survey your building, advise on exactly what you need, and keep it all properly maintained.

Emergency Signage

Clear signs show people where the exits and fire equipment are — vital when every second counts.

Signs for any setting

When a building is smoky or unfamiliar, clear signs guide people to safety and point out where the fire equipment is.

We stock a huge range of photoluminescent, or ‘glow-in-the-dark’, safety signs at competitive prices, and can order almost any sign at short notice. They all come with a five-year guarantee and exceed the relevant British, European and international standards.

Our team is trained to choose and position the right signs for your premises, with a specialist on hand for larger or more unusual projects.

CeaseFire Systems

CeaseFire systems detect and suppress fire automatically inside server racks, UPS units and electrical cabinets — around the clock, with no power or staff needed, and no damage to your electronics.

Protecting your critical equipment

Server rooms, comms cabinets and UPS systems are packed with electrical risk, and a fire inside one can take down your whole operation. CeaseFire protects them from the inside, using clean agents that leave no residue and won’t harm sensitive electronics.

A heat-sensitive tube is routed through the panel or enclosure. The instant a fire breaks out, the tube bursts at the hottest point and releases the extinguishing agent exactly where it is needed — suppressing the fire before it can spread or damage surrounding kit. See it in action below.

FirePro Suppression

FirePro condensed aerosol systems suppress fire automatically inside enclosed, high-value spaces — no water, no pipework and no pressurised cylinders, just fast protection in a fraction of the space.

Compact protection for enclosed risks

FirePro uses condensed aerosol technology to interrupt a fire at its source. When heat triggers the generator, it floods the enclosure with a fine aerosol that suppresses the fire before it can take hold — ideal for spaces where traditional systems would need far more room and infrastructure.

With no water supply, pipework or gas cylinders required, FirePro suits electrical switchgear, control panels, plant rooms, generators, battery storage and server rooms, and can run standalone or tied into your fire alarm system.
