Fire Alarm Systems That Protect People, Property & Peace of Mind

When it comes to fire safety, every second counts. A well-designed, correctly installed, and properly maintained fire alarm system can be the difference between a minor incident and a devastating loss.

At 24/7 Fire and Security Protection Ltd, we don’t just fit fire alarms — we design complete fire detection systems that are built around your premises, your risks, and your responsibilities under UK fire safety law. Whether you run a school, care home, manufacturing site, or office, we ensure your system is compliant, reliable, and ready to respond when it matters most.

Why Choose an Accredited Fire Alarm Company?

We are a BAFE SP203-1 accredited provider, which means our fire alarm design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance meet the highest recognised UK standards. Choosing an accredited company gives you:

Compliance Confidence

Your system will meet BS 5839-1:2025 standards and all legal requirements.

Insurance Approval

Many insurers require fire alarm systems to be designed and installed by accredited companies.

Peace of Mind

Independent audits verify the quality and reliability of our work.

Understanding Fire Alarm Categories

Fire alarm systems are designed to meet different levels of protection depending on the use of your building, your fire risk assessment, and legal requirements. We’ll guide you in choosing the right category for your premises:

Manual Systems (Category M) Life Protection Systems (Category L1–L5) Property Protection Systems (Category P1 & P2)
  • Activated by occupants using call points in the event of a fire.
  • Suitable for some low-risk environments where early warning is not critical for sleeping occupants.
  • L1 – Maximum life protection with detectors throughout the building, covering all rooms and areas.
  • L2 – Detectors in escape routes and high-risk areas (e.g., kitchens, plant rooms).
  • L3 – Detectors in escape routes and all rooms opening onto escape routes.
  • L4 – Detectors in escape routes only.
  • L5 – Custom design for specific life-risk situations.
  • P1 – Detectors throughout the building for maximum protection of the property and contents.
  • P2 – Detectors in defined high-risk areas to reduce damage and loss in the event of a fire.

By understanding these categories, you can be confident your fire alarm system meets both legal requirements and your specific safety priorities.

Integrated Safety Solutions

We can integrate your fire alarm with other safety and security systems, including:

Emergency lighting

Automatic fire suppression systems

Access control and lockdown systems

Remote monitoring for instant alerts

This ensures that when an alarm is triggered, the right actions happen instantly — from alerting the fire service to unlocking emergency exits.

Helping You Stay Compliant Year-Round

Fire alarms aren’t “fit and forget.” They require regular maintenance to remain compliant with UK legislation. As part of our planned maintenance packages, we:

  • Test detection devices and sounders.
  • Check and log all system functions.
  • Provide updated certification for your records.
  • Highlight and resolve potential issues before they become faults.

A Tailored Approach – Not “One Size Fits All”

Every building is different, and so is every fire alarm system we install. Our process includes:

  • Site Survey & Risk Assessment – Understanding your layout, operations, and potential hazards.
  • System Design – Selecting the right type of fire alarm (conventional, addressable, wireless) for your needs.
  • Professional Installation – Carried out by our DBS-checked, trained engineers with minimal disruption.
  • Commissioning & Certification – Ensuring your system is fully operational, tested, and documented.
