I have used Chris Lewis for a number of different fire, security and lighting automation projects and their service has always been first class.
Highly recommended!

Chris Lewis took over our fire and security following 4 years with another provider. They really offered value for money, picking up on a multitude of failings by our earlier provider… Cannot fault the experience.

FAQs
What fire and security systems do offices typically need?
It depends on your office size, layout, and risk profile. Most offices need: fire alarms with zones for different areas, access control for managing visitors and staff, CCTV for entrances and valuable equipment areas, and intruder alarms for after-hours. Offices with server rooms need VESDA early detection. Multi-tenanted buildings often need more sophisticated access control. We assess your specific setup and recommend what actually makes sense for your situation.
How do you minimise disruption during installation?
We schedule installations around your business hours, often working evenings or weekends for minimal impact. Our experienced engineers work efficiently and clean up thoroughly. For larger projects, we phase the work to avoid disrupting your entire office at once.
Can your systems work with hybrid working and hot-desking?
Absolutely. Our access control works with however your office operates. Issue mobile credentials that staff use from their phones. Set up hot-desk booking integration so meeting rooms unlock when reserved. Create flexible access schedules that change based on who’s in the office. Grant and revoke access remotely without needing to collect physical cards. Perfect for offices where people come and go on different schedules or work hybrid patterns.
Do you offer maintenance contracts for offices?
Yes. Maintenance contracts take ongoing management off your plate. We schedule regular servicing automatically – you don’t chase us, we chase you. 24/7 technical support means problems get solved without waiting for office hours. Remote diagnostics fix many issues without site visits, reducing disruption. With 98% on-time maintenance and 90%+ first-time fix rate, your systems work reliably without constant attention from your facilities team.
Can you integrate fire, security, and AV systems?
Yes, and this is where things get much simpler for your facilities team. When doors unlock automatically during fire alarms, you don’t need staff remembering protocols. When CCTV records every time someone uses access control, you have proof of who entered when. When intruder alarms arm automatically when the last person leaves, there’s no human error. Everything works together and you manage it from one system, not three separate ones with different logins and support numbers.
What types of fire systems does Chris Lewis install?
We install conventional and addressable fire alarm systems. We can also install VESDA aspirating smoke detectors in sensitive areas like server rooms. These systems can detect the warning signs of fires early, so they can be stopped before they fully ignite. All systems come with compliance documents and can be monitored remotely.
Where is Chris Lewis based and where do they cover?
We’re based in Oxford and cover the whole of Oxfordshire – every town from Banbury and Bicester to Witney, Didcot and Henley-on-Thames. We also work extensively across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Warwickshire, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and more.
Does Chris Lewis offer system maintenance, monitoring and repairs?
Yes, and this is where many offices see the biggest time saving. Our maintenance contracts include regular servicing, and our on-time servicing rate is over 98%. Emergency repairs come with 4-24 hour response times depending on your contract level, and our 90%+ first-time fix rate means most problems are resolved in one visit. All work gets logged in your online portal automatically so compliance records stay current without you chasing paperwork.
