Fire Alarms in Huddersfield

Looking for fire alarms in Huddersfield? … Look no further.
United Kingdom Fire safety regulations wants almost all businesses to put in place a fire alarm. National guidelines tell us that if you can exclaim ‘Fire!’ and people can hear you above the ambient noise, in all areas of your building then you may not have to have a fire protection system. That rules out maybe 90+% of businesses.

So you probably require a fire alarm but what type? How many detectors and what sort? How many alarm sounders are needed? Do you need strobe lights for the deaf? These are all relevant questions that need to be answered plus thoughts about the processes you carry out and the probable fuels in your building.

There are numerous grades and categories of fire protection system and deciding the right one is vital in keeping you operating legally. Your obligatory fire-risk-assessment would help guide you and we are more than happy to help and clarify the best options.

You should also confer with your insurer. A system designed purely to save lives may keep you on the right side of the law but your insurance company (and indeed you) may wish to have a system to save your livelihood too. Therefore, there’s life protection and property protection categories i.e. L categories and P categories. If you have building protection then the system must be remotely monitored when the building is unoccupied.

Organising a free no-obligation site survey is a good place to kick off. Our professionally trained surveyors will guide you through the choices taking into consideration your insurance company’s demands and the outcome of your risk assessment.

After the surveyor’s visit we will email a specification and quote for your consideration. BS5839 states that every part of the fire alarm must be certificated i.e. design, installation, commissioning and handover. As a BAFE approved installer we can certificate all of the stages. The commissioning engineer must not be the same engineer that fit the system – so be wary of single person businesses.
