Design & Install
New fire alarm systems designed, installed and commissioned to BS 5839 — HMO grade D and grade A LD2 upgrades, commercial category L2 / L3 / M panels, obsolete panel replacements.
Three common drivers: a Fire Risk Assessment flagging the existing system as inadequate (wrong grade, missing zones, no interlink between HMO dwellings, obsolete panel), a change-of-use or extension that pushes the building outside its original zone plan, or a licensing renewal where the council requires a documented upgrade from grade D to grade A LD2.
Every install starts with a written design: category (M, L1–L5) or grade (A–F), zone plan, device schedule, panel and PSU calculation, battery sizing. This is priced separately from installation so you see exactly where the money goes — no per-device quoting against a design you never see.
HMO installs run to BS 5839-6 — grade D LD2 (mains-wired interlinked detection) for smaller 1–2 storey layouts, grade A LD2 (panel, call points, zoned detection) for 3+ storey. Commercial installs run to BS 5839-1 — typically category L2 or L3 for occupied buildings, M for life-safety-only warehousing. We recommend against the FRA, not against a higher grade to inflate the quote.
Installs in occupied premises are phased so detection is never absent: existing system stays live throughout first-fix and second-fix, changeover to the new panel is scheduled outside trading or occupancy hours, and grade A commercial installs are commissioned zone-by-zone. HMO installs are booked between tenancies where possible.
Every install closes with a BS 5839 commissioning certificate, as-installed drawings, device schedule, zone chart, log book, user briefing and the maintenance schedule for the first year's servicing.
