Why You Need Fire Alarm Installation in London
Types of Fire Alarm Systems We Install
We provide a selection of fire alarm systems to accommodate the requirements of industrial, commercial, and residential properties. Our installations encompass L1 to L5 systems, which are engineered to offer comprehensive fire protection that is customised to meet your unique needs.
L1-L5 Fire Alarm Systems Explained
L1: Smoke detection and alarm for entire premises
With an L1 system, the most advanced degree of protection, every room and region of the building is covered by smoke detectors. Larger or more dangerous structures that necessitate utmost security can greatly benefit from this method.
L2: Heat detection for fire-prone areas
L2 systems include heat detection in designated high-risk zones, such as boiler rooms or kitchens, to target areas prone to fires. The system focuses on these locations because they are more prone to flames to provide early warnings.
L3: Smoke/heat alarms in circulation areas
In L3 systems, smoke or heat alarms are installed in common areas like hallways and stairwells. This protects escape paths and lets people know early if there is a fire.
L4: Basic smoke alarms in circulation areas
Basic smoke alarms are only placed in areas that people walk through, like hallways and stairwells. This method ensures that people are warned of a fire in common areas when it starts.
L5: Customized systems for specific fire risks
L5 alarms are intended to address specific fire hazards unique to a particular building or industry. These systems are intended to address hazards that conventional alarms may not address.
Wired vs Wireless Fire Alarms
Wireless systems are more versatile regarding coverage expansion, easier to install, and more cost-effective than wired ones. However, wired systems are better for long-term installations due to their steady and dependable performance. For maximum safety, any kind can be linked to existing security systems and watched from afar.
Features and benefits of each type
Wired fire alarm systems are reliable and less prone to interference, making them ideal for permanent installations. Wireless alarms are flexible, easier to install, and more cost-effective for complex layouts or when rewiring is impractical. Both types can be monitored and maintained remotely, ensuring continuous functionality without frequent physical inspections
Integration with other security systems (CCTV, access control)
Fire alarms are seamlessly integrated with CCTV, access control, and other security systems to enhance overall safety. This integration allows real-time monitoring, automatic door unlocking for evacuations, and improved coordination during emergencies, ensuring rapid response times and streamlined security management
VESDA Systems
Early smoke detection for critical environments
VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) technologies detect smoke well before it is apparent to the naked eye. These systems give the first alert, reducing damage and allowing prompt action, making them ideal for high-stakes settings like museums, data centres, or luxury estates.
Who Needs a Fire Alarm System?
Commercial and residential buildings must have fire alarm systems. Fire detection systems are a legal requirement for businesses, and landlords are obligated to install alarms to guarantee the protection of their tenants. Not only is it the law, but following fire codes is also an important precaution.
- Legal requirements for landlords and businesses
United Kingdom mandate by law to install smoke alarms on each level and heat alarms in kitchens, and all businesses must have a sufficient fire detection system. Serious fines may be imposed for noncompliance. To make sure the system works, you have to test it and maintain it regularly.
- Fire safety regulations for residential properties (BS5839)
Residential properties are required by BS5839 to have a dependable fire alarm system. This includes having functional heat alarms in important areas like kitchens and smoke alarms in rental residences.- Grade D, LD3: Minimum requirements for rented properties
Grade D, LD3 is the minimal fire safety standard for rental houses, which includes smoke alarms in circulation areas such as hallways and landings. This basic design helps ensure that tenants can safely evacuate in case of a fire. - Grade D, LD2: Enhanced fire coverage for added safety
Grade D, LD2 systems have smoke alarms in places like living rooms and kitchens that are likely to catch fire. This offers better fire safety, making it perfect for rental homes that are bigger or more likely to catch fire. - Heat alarms for kitchens, positioning guidelines
To prevent unnecessary alerts produced by cooking, heat detectors should be installed in kitchens. For optimal protection, set them up in a way that allows them to detect fires early while keeping them far from ovens and other direct sources of heat.

Fire Alarm FAQs
How often should my fire alarm be serviced?
To make sure your fire alarm system is operating correctly, it should be serviced at least once a year. However, more frequent assessments can be required for bigger commercial systems or locations that pose a higher risk. Frequent maintenance keeps your system in compliance with fire safety rules and helps prevent false alarms.
Do I need a fire alarm for a rented property?
It is true that landlords must install smoke detectors in rental houses by law. Every floor needs to have smoke alarms installed, and high-risk rooms like kitchens should have heat alarms installed as well. Adherence to BS5839 guidelines is crucial in guaranteeing the security of tenants.
What’s the difference between smoke and heat alarms?
In general, smoke alarms are good for living rooms and other areas where visible combustion particles could cause false alerts, such as kitchens or garages. On the other hand, heat alarms detect changes in temperature and are more suited to these areas.
How does a VESDA system work?
Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA) systems constantly scan the air for smoke, no matter how minute. It is perfect for high-security areas like data centers and posh residential neighborhoods because of the early fire detection it provides using cutting-edge laser technology.
Can you integrate fire alarms with other security systems?
Yes, fire alarms can be connected with other systems, such as CCTV and access control, to improve building security. This connectivity enables centralized monitoring and faster response times during emergencies.
