Types of fire detection systems we provide
Addressable fire detection systems
Addressable fire detection systems link multiple detectors and devices to a central control panel, with each device assigned a unique address. This allows responders to identify the exact location of an activation quickly, making these systems ideal for large buildings or sites spread across wide areas. They support features such as remote alerts, including SMS notifications during an emergency, to help improve response time.
Wireless addressable options operate in the same way but use secure radio communication instead of cabling, allowing faster installation and minimal disruption in buildings where wiring is difficult or intrusive.
Conventional fire detection systems
Fire safety training equips individuals with the knowledge to prevent fires, recognise hazards and respond confidently during an emergency. Proper training can be the difference between safety and serious harm. By teaching people how to act quickly and responsibly, it reinforces a culture of awareness and supports the protection of colleagues, families and the wider community.
These systems provide a reliable and cost-effective solution for small to medium sized premises where straightforward zoning is sufficient.
Smoke and multi-sensor detectors
High-sensitivity detectors identify smoke particles or combined signals from smoke, heat and carbon monoxide sensors, delivering accurate alerts and helping reduce false alarms in varied environments.
Heat and flame detection technology
Heat-rise and fixed-temperature sensors detect dangerous temperature changes, while flame detectors identify radiated energy for rapid alerts in high-risk industrial or open areas.
Manual call points and alert devices
Strategically placed call points allow staff to trigger alarms immediately, while sounders and beacons deliver clear evacuation signals throughout the building.
Integration with suppression systems
Detection platforms connect seamlessly with suppression equipment, access control and monitoring services, creating coordinated response pathways that support full fire safety plans.
