Fire Alarm Supply and Installation

At Thameside Fire Protection, every fire alarm installation begins with a thorough risk assessment and a bespoke system design. We tailor each installation to your building’s layout, usage, and occupancy to ensure maximum protection and full legal compliance.

To meet BS 5839 standards, your fire alarm system must include:

  • A professional fire risk assessment
  • Correct selection of alarm type (e.g. conventional, addressable, or wireless)
  • Strategic placement of detectors, sounders, and manual call points
  • Full commissioning by qualified engineers

Once installed, your fire alarm system uses a network of heat and smoke detectors, sounders, and alarms to detect fire-related threats and alert building occupants. These systems are automatic, providing immediate warning to allow safe evacuation and swift emergency response.
