Fire Alarm Systems
Fire alarm systems are one of our highest selling products. We offer a fully comprehensive range of systems, so we will easily be able to meet even the most demanding requirements.
Fire alarm systems are a strongly recommended commodity - we believe no premises should be without the safety a fire alarm offers. Listed below are the different types of alarm systems available. Please feel free to discuss your needs with one of our trained specialist advisers.
Conventional – A more traditional alarm system, able to detect fire or the effects of fire, and as a result provide one or more of the following:
- notifies the occupants
- notifies persons in the surrounding area
- summons the fire service
- controls all the fire alarm components in a building
Analogue Addressable – In addition to all of the above features this type of alarm is extremely useful in larger premises as each unit can give its exact location via a text read out, meaning fires can be quickly located.
Radio - Radio fire alarm systems are simple to install. There is no need for wiring between detection devices and very little disruption of the premises during installation.
Aspirated System - A type of smoke detector which gives a very quick response. It detects smoke particles suspended in the air by identifying the light scattered from the particles in a sampling chamber.
Voice Alarm – An Emergency Voice Alarm Communication system is required in large facilities where general undirected evacuation is considered impracticable. Highly recommended for use in public buildings and places of entertainment.
Voice Alarm/Public Address – Uses microphones, amplifiers and speakers to deliver instructions or announcements to large groups of people. This could be office staff, customers within a shop, information announcements in leisure centres, and more. VA/PA systems can easily be installed as a simple stand-alone system or can be integrated within CCTV, Access Control or Fire Alarm Systems. VA/PA systems are varied
in their vast range of use, from a simple system within a
veterinary surgery to a larger, more complex system in a
sports stadium.

Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers are an intrinsic part of any business premises. There are different types of extinguisher for different types of fire and it is very important that the correct extinguisher is used. Below is a list of extinguishers and what type of fire they are to be used on:
- Water – Used for wood, cloth, paper, plastics, coal and fires involving solids. This type of extinguisher works by cooling burning material. NOT FOR USE ON ELECTRICAL FIRES.
- Foam – Used for wood, cloth, paper, plastics, coal and fires involving solids, liquids such as grease, fats, oil, paint or petrol. This type of extinguisher works by forming a fire extinguishing film on the surface of a burning liquid. It has a cooling action with a wider extinguishing application than water on solid combustible materials.
- Dry Powder – Used for liquids such as grease, fats, oil, paint and petrol. This type of extinguisher works by knocking down flames.
- CO2 – Used for liquids such as grease, fats, oil paint and petrol. This type of extinguisher works by vaporising liquid gas which smothers the flames by displacing oxygen in the air.
- Extinguishant Systems – Fixed systems designed for specific areas such as computer rooms or special equipment.
- Fire Blankets – For fires involving both solids and liquids. This resource is particularly effective for small fires in clothing and for chip and fat pan fires provided the blanket completely covers the fire. This type of extinguisher works by smothering the fire.
