FAQs
What fire and security systems do restaurants typically need?
It depends on your restaurant size, kitchen type and trading hours. Most restaurants need: fire detection designed for commercial kitchens that handles cooking heat and steam, front of house CCTV for dining areas and tills, access control for kitchens and storage areas, and intruder alarms for after-hours protection. High-volume kitchens often need specialist suppression systems. We assess your specific operation and recommend what makes sense for your restaurant.
How do you minimise disruption during install?
We schedule installs around your trading hours, typically working during closed periods or quieter service times for minimal impact. Our experienced engineers work efficiently and clean up thoroughly. For larger projects, we phase the work to avoid disrupting your entire operation at once. Kitchen systems are tested outside service hours.
How do you prevent false alarms from cooking?
We use fire detection specifically designed for commercial kitchens. Heat detectors instead of smoke detectors in cooking areas. Multi-sensor detection that distinguishes between cooking vapours and actual fires. Proper placement away from direct steam and heat sources. Systems are calibrated to your specific kitchen environment to minimise false alarms while maintaining reliable protection.
Do you offer maintenance contracts for restaurants?
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 any time of day or night. 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 management team.
