Fire Alarm Design That Fits Your Site

A fire alarm system should be designed around the building, its risks and how people use the space.

Site Requirements

We review building layout, usage, risk areas and operational needs before installation.

System Planning

Systems are planned to support clear detection, alerting and safe response.

Commercial Environments

Design support for offices, schools, care settings, retail, hospitality and managed property.

Scalable Systems

Planned around current needs while allowing for future site changes.

Fire Alarm Installation Delivered Properly

Commercial installation with clear planning, professional delivery and minimal disruption.

Commercial Installation

For workplaces, public sector sites, managed buildings and commercial properties.

Wireless Systems

Wireless options where flexible installation or reduced disruption matters.

System Commissioning

Installed systems are checked, commissioned and prepared for everyday use.

Clear Handover

Practical guidance, documentation and next steps after installation.

Servicing That Keeps Systems Ready

Routine servicing keeps your fire alarm system reliable, documented and ready to respond.

Scheduled Servicing

Planned visits to inspect, test and maintain fire alarm systems.

Fault Checks

Support for identifying and resolving system faults or recurring issues.

System Testing

Checks to confirm key parts of the system are working as intended.

Clear Records

Documentation to support internal records, compliance reviews and site management.

Monitoring & Response

Connecting the panel to an alarm receiving centre means an activation is acted on whether or not anyone is on site.

ARC connection

Dual-path signalling to a monitoring centre with agreed escalation for fire and fault signals.

Out-of-hours cover

Overnight, weekend and holiday activations reach a keyholder or the fire service without delay.

Fault signalling

Power loss, detector faults and communication failures are reported before they become a problem.

Response records

Every signal logged, so recurring nuisance activations can be traced and designed out.

Compliance & Documentation

The system is only compliant if the records say so. We keep the paperwork current alongside the equipment.

Commissioning certificate

Issued on completion in the BS 5839-1 format, with as-fitted zone plans.

Service certificates

Twice-yearly certificates covering the whole system and any outstanding defects.

Weekly test log

Logbook supplied and maintained, recording the responsible person’s weekly call point tests.

Variation records

Any departure from the standard recorded and justified rather than left undocumented.

Compliance note

Commercial fire alarm systems should be serviced at least twice a year under BS 5839-1, with weekly call point tests logged by the responsible person. Recall’s service agreements schedule both and keep the log for you.
