FAQs

What are the key benefits of installing a fire alarm system?

Fire alarm systems provide crucial early detection of fires, enabling swift evacuation and minimising property damage. They ensure compliance with UK fire safety regulations, reduce insurance premiums, and offer round-the-clock protection. At McLaughlin Fire & Security Consultants, our systems are designed to meet BS 5839 standards.

How frequently should fire alarm systems be maintained?

In accordance with BS 5839, fire alarm systems require quarterly maintenance visits and an annual inspection by a qualified engineer. Weekly testing should be conducted by the property manager or designated responsible person. Our maintenance contracts include all necessary inspections and documentation.

What types of fire alarm systems do you install?

We install and maintain conventional, addressable, and wireless fire alarm systems. Each type serves different purposes: conventional systems suit smaller premises, addressable systems offer precise detection for larger buildings, and wireless systems provide flexibility for listed buildings or locations where wiring is challenging.
