I walk around my home now with a real sense of pride.
Chris Lewis understood what I wanted to achieve. The team listened very closely to what I wanted to do and then advised me on the best options. That for me was the buying decision because I had great confidence from the outset that the sales director took on board what I wanted and then fed back to me his own idea, without trying the hard sell.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I legally need a fire alarm in my home?
Building Regulations require fire alarms in new builds and certain conversions. Existing homes aren’t legally required unless structural changes trigger Building Control. However, insurance for high-value properties often mandates detection systems. We assess your situation and recommend compliant solutions.
Can fire alarms be installed in listed buildings?
Yes. Listed building consent is typically required, but we specialise in conservation-approved installations. Wireless systems avoiding cable damage through historic fabric often gain approval. We handle conservation officer consultation and Building Control liaison.
How visible will detectors be in my home?
Visibility depends on system design. Standard detectors can be colour-matched to ceilings. Heritage properties can use miniature detectors or aspirating systems with concealed sampling—virtually invisible fire protection respecting architectural character.
Will the system integrate with my smart home?
Yes. Fire alarms integrate with Control4, Lutron, and other platforms. Activation triggers automated responses—unlocking doors, activating lighting, sending smartphone alerts. Coordinated emergency response rather than standalone alarms.
What maintenance do fire alarm systems require?
Annual servicing maintains compliance and reliable operation. Proactive contracts include detector testing, battery replacement, system health checks. Remote monitoring verifies communication paths. Maintenance ensures BS 5839 compliance and insurance requirements.
How much does a residential fire alarm system cost?
Investment varies significantly based on property size, system type, and wireless/wired specification. Heritage properties requiring conservation-sensitive approaches may need specialist solutions. We provide transparent quotations following property surveys explaining regulatory requirements.
How long does installation take?
Timescales vary by system complexity and property type. Wireless systems in completed properties typically install within days. Heritage properties requiring conservation officer liaison may need additional time. We provide detailed schedules following surveys to minimise disruption.
How long does security system installation take?
Timescales vary by system complexity and property layout. Installation can be completed simultaneously or phased depending on your preferences. Heritage properties may need additional time. We provide detailed schedules following security surveys to minimise disruption.
