Fire Alarm System Design, Installation & Maintenance

Reliable, compliant fire protection for every building

A fire alarm is one of the most important life-safety systems in any property — but it’s often overlooked until it’s too late.
At Central Southern Security, we design, install, commission and maintain fire detection and alarm systems that meet BS 5839 and current UK regulations, giving you confidence that people and property are properly protected.

Design, installation & commissioning

Every site is different. We begin with a site survey and risk-led design, selecting the right detection strategy for the building layout, use and occupancy.

We provide

• Conventional systems for small to medium premises

• Addressable systems for larger, complex or multi-zone sites

• Wired systems (cost-effective and robust)

• Wireless systems (ideal where cabling is disruptive, e.g. heritage, schools, offices)

• Hybrid systems (wired panels with wireless devices for flexible installs)

All projects include

1. Clear cause-and-effect (C&E) programming

2. Sound pressure level checks and audibility tests

3. User training and handover documentation

Ongoing maintenance & support

Fire alarm systems must be inspected and serviced regularly to remain effective and compliant.

Our maintenance service includes.

• Planned preventative maintenance at agreed intervals

• Functional testing of detectors, call points, sounders and interfaces

• Panel diagnostics, battery checks and firmware updates

• Remedials and parts replacement as required

• 24/7 out-of-hours call-out for contract clients

• Service reports and certification for your records/insurer

Regular servicing reduces false alarms and ensures rapid detection when
it matters most.

  If you need the Fire Risk Assessment first, we can arrange that and then specify the right protection level for your building.
