Fire safety services — pick the one you actually need
This page is the routing layer above our individual service hubs (see the full services list). Most people land here because of one of four triggers — pick the row that matches yours.
If this is what brought you here…
| Trigger | Start here |
|---|---|
| Council, insurer or fire-service letter naming a deadline | Start with a Fire Risk Assessment |
| Annual sticker on the extinguishers has expired | Book extinguisher servicing |
| Alarm panel showing a fault or you've missed a 6-month service | BS 5839 alarm service |
| HMO licensing, FD30 doors damaged, or new compartmentation needed | Fire-door installation |
