Fire Alarm Installation, Maintenance & Repair – Security Systems Worcester
A fire alarm is a system that alerts you of heat, smoke or fire and professional fire alarm systems are all different in their capabilities, output and technical functionalities.
Many different fire alarm systems use applications that interact to provide automated detection the moment there is heat, smoke, fire or carbon monoxide gas. The principal objective of a fire alarm system is to alert people through visual lights and alarms that there is possible danger and this ensures they are able to evacuate quickly and the emergency services contacted. A combination of temperature and smoke detection will signal inhabitants via sirens, and warning lights offering time to evacuate safely.
The UK’s fire alarm regulations state that every commercial property has to have ‘an appropriate fire detection system’ ensuring that in the event there is a fire, iit can be detected, and all occupants are warned and able to vacate efficiently and safely.

Fire alarm solutions are not always a demand of company insurance; however, every policy varies and some insurance companies may offer you a reduced premium depending on your fire alarm system and its capability. Normally fire alarms fitted by a security specialist like Elite are taken into consideration when reviewing your policy.

When you have a fire alarm system installed, or if you are in a commercial property that currently has a system then you should have it serviced annually or when you initially take over the property to make certain it is in safe and effective functioning order. An annual service will ensure it does the job you need it to at the required time and ensure you don’t have recurring false alarms which can be a huge disruption and cost to your business. Frequent false fire alarms can also result in staff and customers not acting quickly in response when the alarm system goes off and this can be life-threatening if smoke or fire has been detected.
Frequent Factors for Erroneous Fire alarms
-
- Smoke or steam from a system in your operation setting off an alarm
- Problems with your fire alarm system such as connections, wires, sensors or instrument panel
- Manual break glass signal point being activated by mistake or sometimes maliciously. False alarms are almost never raised through malfunctioning call points if your system is serviced regularly
- Problems with your alarm system cabling and connections
- Improperly maintained or unserviced fire alarm system
Having your fire alarm system serviced regularly and inspected by a specialist ensures your alarm system is in excellent working order and this is imperative when you are responsible for a property or business in the UK. Your business organisation’s Responsible person should schedule regular fire alarm system tests weekly to ensure it is operating as it should. Periodic test fire drills should also be arranged which are then documented. You can find out more here.
Elite Fire & Security fire alarm servicing solutions ascertain that your equipment is operating as it needs to and ensures if your fire alarm sounds your property can be evacuated swiftly. As your fire specialist, our team will help you to ensure you keep within the fire regulations including inspecting your equipment and escape routes.
How will I know if my Business Needs a Fire Alarm System?
All companies must have an assigned ‘Responsible Person’ that makes sure any actions that are as a result of a fire risk evaluation are documented and executed and that all required action is taken to prevent fires, injury or death in the event that a fire develops. All businesses have to carry out a yearly fire assessment as part of their Health & Safety requirements and this needs to be documented when your business employs more than 4 people.
Not all businesses legally require a fully integrated fire alarm system and if not a residential fire alarm and carbon monoxide detector can be fitted by yourself to protect you, your team and customers from any potential fire or carbon monoxide poisoning.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 details everything you need to understand and comply with in relation to fire safety. It is a lengthy document and as fire specialists, our team can summarise the main points and advise you of your legal requirements along with the things you should consider.
Reasons why your Company Might not need a Fully Integrated Fire Alarm System
-
- Your business property is a single storey
- Your property is small, open plan and smoke, heat and fire would be immediately obvious
- In the event that a fire starts and a warning of fire is called, it can be heard by anyone within the property wherever they are located
- There are never vulnerable individuals within your business property including; children under the age of 18, the elderly or disabled
- You do not undertake any high-risk fire activities
- You don’t store or use any high-risk chemicals and substances that are susceptible to catching fire
You should always refer to the detailed information in The Regulatory Fire Reform and, or employ a reliable fire assessment company like Elite Fire & Security who will evaluate your business and provide you with the reasons why you should or don’t require an integrated fire alarm system as well as referring you to the corresponding points in The Regulatory Fire Reform.
Property Owner Requirements for Fire & Carbon Dioxide Alarms
As of 1st October 2015, it became law that landlords must ensure that fire and carbon monoxide detectors are installed in the required locations in their rented properties whether domestic or commercial. As a minimum requirement, the regulations state that smoke detectors/alarms should be installed on every floor of the property and a carbon monoxide warning device in any room featuring a fuel-burning appliance.
Commercial Fire Alarm Security Systems
Professional fire alarm systems are the same in principle as a domestic fire alarm in that they detect smoke, heat and fire automatically, or in the event that anyone shatters the glass on an emergency fire point the alarm will sound. There are several professional systems that feature remote signalling which notifies the occupants of a property and also the emergency fire services by using a central service meaning the fire services are dispatched immediately.
Types of Business Fire Alarm Systems
-
- Conventional
- Analogue Addressable
- Addressable
- Wireless systems
You can find out even more about the types of fire alarm systems available in our Fire Alarm article here.
Which Fire Alarm System Should you have Installed?
This will depend on your premises, size and use. As an example, you would need to have a different fire alarm system if people slept anywhere inside the commercial property compared to a business that operates with no sleeping inhabitants.
It will also be dependent on entry and exit points, if it’s single or multi-storey, where escape routes are and if there are enough of them, in addition to other factors to consider that Elite Fire & Security can advise you of. Our team will inspect your commercial property and spend time with you in order to understand your requirements and operation before making any recommendations and design of a bespoke system for you.
The cost of a fire alarm installation will depend on the systems you already have, your commercial property size, your needs, operation and if it is consolidated with any other safety and security systems. Our experts can offer you bespoke fire alarm options depending on your needs and finances without any obligation.
New Business Premises
You should always facilitate a complete fire assessment on any new business premises in order to ascertain the premises is safe which a professional and trustworthy fire assessment company like Elite Fire & Security will do for you. This will enable you to establish whether or not your existing alarm system complies with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, or if any work or servicing needs to be carried out.
Fire Alarm Questions that Business and Commercial Property Owners should ask themselves
-
- Have you reviewed your fire risk assessment in the last year?
- Have all of your staff members had their fire safety training in the last year?
- Do you have your fire alarm system looked at and maintained by a professional specialist regularly?
- When was your fire system installed and is it still fit for purpose for your business and property?
- When did you last have a fire drill practice with documented actions as a result of it?
Home Fire Alarm Security Systems
If your home is on the ground floor or one storey then one smoke and carbon monoxide detector is enough in order to provide you with an early alert of smoke or fire. You should always be able to hear the alarms in any area of your home and if you can’t then you should install an extra one. In the case that you have a two or three-storey house then you need to have an alarm fitted on each floor and again check they can be easily heard from anywhere in the property when they sound. You should test them on a monthly basis to ensure the alarms sound and change any batteries frequently. A number of alarms are now connected to mains energy and some are battery operated so testing routinely will tell you if there are any problems with either.
It is suggested that home fire and carbon monoxide alarms are located outside of every sleeping area, as well as in the immediate vicinity of any bedrooms and they should be installed on the wall or ceiling according to the detector’s instructions.
If you believe that you need more than a smoke and carbon dioxide detector in your home please contact Elite Fire & Security and our experts can help.

Commercial Intruder Alarm Benefits
-
- It is widely known that intruders will opt for a residential or commercial property without a security system or at least an outdated system instead of taking the chance of entering a property with a recently integrated alarm system
- If your business stores stock, specialist hardware, staff member belongings and personal and confidential data then an intruder alarm will lower the possibility of your property being broken into
- An alarm system provides you peace of mind 24 hours a day, 365 days a year as you know if nobody is at your business or property then your alarm will sound if someone accesses it who is unauthorised
- An alarm system can make team members feel much safer as it can be set at specified access points when they are working as well as reduce the concern of them entering into an uninhabited workplace
- A professionally fitted alarm can lower your insurance premiums whether it is a business, commercial property or home. In many cases, the amount spent on a monitored alarm system may be offset by a reduction in your insurance premium and it is absolutely worth getting in touch with your insurance provider to check or ask various other insurance companies when your renewal is due
- A property with a completely integrated alarm system is more likely to sell compared to a commercial property without one as it will be more appealing to potential buyers
- Professional alarm systems can be automated and display which access point has been broken into
- Professional alarm systems can be linked to the emergency services, meaning if the alarm system is triggered the police will be called to the property without delay
- An alarm system will notify neighbours and passers-by if there has been a burglary and the police may be called more promptly instead of you finding out when you or one of your team next enters your property
- Not all companies have somebody there each day or even every week, some commercial properties are used in order to store items or inventory that are vital to your business. In these circumstances, a commercial intruder alarm provides you peace of mind that your property is safe and secure when nobody is there
- Several commercial intruder alarm systems include cameras and motion detectors that alert you if someone is inside or outside of your property. This means you will be alerted that someone is at your property for you to investigate before there is a possibility of any crime

The time that can be saved by linking directly to the monitoring centre can be the difference between apprehending the criminal or arriving too late.

Types of Commercial Intruder Alarms
Depending on your requirements, there are several types of alarm systems readily available and the one you choose will depend upon the nature of your business, the commercial property and the belongings you are protecting. Elite Fire & Security will advise you of the very best solution for you and your business or property and can consolidate several security systems together to ensure maximum security.
Remote Monitoring and Domestic Intruder Alarms – These types of alarm systems can be designed so that a call centre monitors your premises 24 hours a day. A signalling system will automatically contact your call centre if the alarm system is activated. The call centre will then contact the key holders and the police if you have a Police Response system. This can function in 3 separate ways;
-
- Keyholder – when the alarm is set off, the alarm receiving centre will get in touch with your chosen keyholders
- Text Alert – when the alarm is set off, a text is sent to inform your nominated contacts of a breach
- Police Monitoring – the authorities will be notified through the alarm receiving centre if your alarm is set off
Wireless Intruder Alarm Systems – Wireless systems allow you to install sensors, cameras, beams and movement detectors all around your property that alert you whenever something or someone is detected. Alarm systems such as these are excellent if you have a number of entry points since the system will alert you regarding which sensors, cameras, beams and motions have been triggered.
An Audible Intruder Alarm – A loud alarm and flashing strobe lights to draw attention. Intruders will be alerted to such systems, however, they are mainly unmonitored key holders and the police will not be informed except if a member of the public calls to report a disturbance. As a result, they are not always the best selection for commercial properties as they rely on neighbours or passers-by noticing and reporting the disturbance as well as some experienced intruders being undaunted by the alarm and flashing lights.

-
- Keypad Entry Access Control Systems
- Key Fob Entry Access Control Systems
- Card Entry Access Control Systems
- Fingerprint Entry Access Control Systems
- Retina Entry Access Control Systems
- RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Entry Access Control Systems
Keypad Entry Access – This form of access control system makes use of a keypad with a numeric keypad for entering and exiting. Businesses and homeowners can change the numeric code at any time if necessary.
Key Fob Entry Access – This is when somebody who has been given permission to access a property or an area makes use of a wireless remote control key fob to open the entry point, much like a car key fob. The fob is battery-operated.
Card Entry Access – Access to an access point or door is controlled by a keycard which contains a security token. A mounted keycard reader opens and closes the door when the card is tapped against the reader or swiped through a swipe reader.
Fingerprint Entry Access – Biometric (fingerprint and retina) entry access control systems are growing in popularity because they are considered more secure as a result of the fact that the entry code, fob or card can not be passed on to anyone who isn’t authorised. A fingerprint entry access control system allows authorised individuals to gain access quickly while preventing unauthorised individuals from doing so.
Retina Entry Access – Biometric (retina and fingerprint) entry access control systems are a growing market with huge amounts of organisations using them due to the fact that they are seen as more secure access systems. The entry code, fob or card can not be passed on to anyone who isn’t authorised and only allows access to authorised people.
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Entry Access – Access control systems that use RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) allow entry to authorised individuals. Radio waves are transmitted by the RFID control reader, and radio waves are transmitted by the RFID tags (cards/fobs). Whenever the card is within range, the antenna within it captures the waves and broadcasts a message which contains a unique number from the chip, which enables access.
Access control door systems have the same purpose of allowing or rejecting entry or exit but they do so in different ways. You can have an access control door system in a business property, home or if you have land that is secured by fencing and gateways which allows you to manage who enters. The systems can be developed and fitted to doors, gates, barriers, turnstiles and many more.
What are the Benefits of Access Control Security Systems?
-
- They allow fast and simple access or entry to any individual authorised
- They prohibit entry to those who are not authorised
- You can identify who has entered and when (record of entry)
- They can regulate areas within a building, residential or commercial property quickly and remotely
- They are very difficult to break into and gain entry without having the authorisation
- They offer protection to people inside a building
- They protect valuables and belongings in a building
- They protect businesses, sites and properties
- They allow quick and easy access to anyone authorised
The system you select will depend on your property and security requirements. Elite Fire & Security will execute a full security appraisal of your site and become familiar with your requirements before advising you of the most ideal solution for you and your budget.
As opposed to an access control door system, an intruder alarm will not prevent someone from entering a building or area, it will just warn you or others that the area has been accessed without your consent.
