Fire Safety Design & Consultancy Cornwall
Smart Design. Safer Buildings.
From initial consultations and site surveys to final sign-off, our approach is hands-on and collaborative. We take the time to understand how your building is used, who occupies it, and what risks need to be mitigated—so that every element of your fire alarm system is designed with purpose. Our team is always on hand to explain design decisions, answer your questions, and ensure the system integrates smoothly into the overall project.
Bespoke Fire Alarm Design, Built Around Your Needs
Almost all buildings in the UK require a fire alarm system—and each one must be carefully designed to meet both legal requirements and the specific needs of the premises. At Recall, we specialise in delivering compliant, cost-effective fire alarm system designs that are based on the latest British Standards and industry best practice.
We work to BS 5839-1, which recommends that fire alarm systems are designed by a competent person—and that the final design is confirmed with a signed Design Certificate.
Whether you’re a business owner, developer or contractor, our consultancy services ensure your project is compliant from the outset. We provide:
Full design and specification of fire detection and alarm systems
Expert advice on system category, coverage and detector types
Clear, structured proposals for client approval before installation
Coordination with other contractors, where needed, to streamline the build
Signed Design Certification as required by BS 5839-1
By getting the design right from the start, we help you avoid costly last-minute changes during installation—and deliver a safer, more reliable system.


The Right System, Done the Right Way
From small commercial units to large-scale developments, our consultancy process focuses on delivering:
A tailored system to suit your exact fire safety needs
Full compliance with UK fire safety regulations
Clear documentation and traceability throughout the project
Smooth handover for install teams or contractors
