Many residential blocks in Essex are still burdened by the high costs of a “Waking Watch” because their fire detection isn’t sophisticated enough to support a change in evacuation policy. In May, as service charge budgets are reviewed, we’re showing property managers a better way.
The Power of an L5 System:
- From Stay Put to Simultaneous: If a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) deems a building’s compartmentation insufficient, an upgraded fire alarm system is often the only way to move away from 24/7 manual patrols.
- BS 5839-1:2025 Standards: The new 2025 standards prioritize smoke detection over heat detection in sleeping areas for faster response. We specialize in retrofitting these systems with minimal disruption to residents.
- Interconnected Safety: We ensure that in-flat detectors are correctly interfaced with communal systems, providing total coverage without the “nuisance” alarms that lead to tenant complaints.
The “No Contract” Promise: We know block managers change frequently. Our “No Contract Tie-In” policy means that if a building moves to a new management company, they aren’t stuck with a provider they didn’t choose.
