Fire Alarm and Detection Systems

Compliance with Fire Regulations is a legal requirement; failure to do so can result in prosecution. The introduction of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 saw the onus placed entirely on business owners, employers and landlords to ensure adequate fire safety measures are in place. The cost and damage from a fire can be devastating and could force some businesses to close, even if adequately insured. The benefits of effective fire prevention measures reach far beyond meeting legal obligations; more importantly, they save lives and may also save your business.

CID Fire and Security has over 30 years of experience in designing, supplying and installing highly effective and compliant fire alarm and detection systems to suit every customer’s unique needs.

We are members of the FIA (Fire Industry Association) and BAFE accredited in the design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of Fire Detection Systems to the SP203-1 scheme. Our staff regularly receives training to ensure they are aware of any changes to the standards/guidelines.

Our skilled and knowledgeable engineers work to a high standard, ensuring the optimum performance of your alarms. Our extensive product knowledge means we can provide the fire alarm and detection system that suits your fire safety risk assessment and consider any relevant environmental conditions, building layout and business type. We are experienced with many fire detection systems, from basic conventional detection systems to complete analogue addressable systems, including wired and wire-free solutions. The fire detection method chosen for a system will depend on the building and the furnishings or contents. Smoke detection (optical and ionisation detectors), heat detectors using a biometric strip and rate of rise detectors are the most commonly used fire detection methods, with alternative technologies used where appropriate.

All work carried out by CID Fire and Security complies with the latest regulations and standards, including BS5839 part 1, for non-domestic property or part 6, for domestic properties. Full compliance means no quibbling with insurance companies, fire officers, local authorities and building control inspectors, but it also gives you the option to have your fire alarm system monitored by our alarm receiving centre, who will contact key holders and/or the fire brigade when the alarm is activated.

With so much responsibility placed on business owners or landlords to ensure the safety of the people who live, work and visit their premises, at CID Fire and Security, we aim to provide a reliable and trusted service to help relieve some pressure. We continue to invest in improving staff skills and knowledge to ensure they always offer the most appropriate and effective fire alarm and detection systems.
