Residential
With an average of 40,000 home fires each year, our industry-leading fire protection technology offers safety and reassurance to Berkshire homeowners.

60% of businesses never reopen after a serious fire. Our services have helped businesses to keep buildings, staff and assets safe and UK regulation compliant.
Education
We’ve spent more than three decades helping schools, colleges and universities meet their fire response responsibilities with quality detection and prevention equipment.
We offer a range of installation services, takeover and maintenance packages. From full system design to fire alarm monitoring, our NSI Gold team can ensure that your property is fire-safe around the clock.

Fire Extinguishers
Last year, uncontrolled building fires caused 272 fatalities in the UK alone. With the right extinguisher in place, you can take steps to defeat fire at its source. Our engineers can support you in the selection, installation and maintenance of fire extinguishers, increasing your safety and ensuring full compliance.

VESDA Air Sampling Systems
Detect smoke early and minimise the impact of a fire. Our Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA) will alert you to atmospheric changes before a fire fully develops, increasing your reaction time and protecting vulnerable areas such as server rooms and elevator shafts.

Fire Risk Assessment
A painless approach to meeting your obligations. For over 30 years we’ve helped Reading’s businesses and schools to achieve full compliance with UK fire risk assessment regulation. We take responsibility off your shoulders, minimising distractions and guaranteeing the safety of your premises.
