These basic school Fire Alarms separate your site into various zones and are very cost-effective, but they offer no indication of where the Fire has originated from, thereby potentially preventing the best evacuation strategy.

Particularly suitable for larger school sites, these Fire Alarm systems give each detector a personal ‘address’, so you can immediately identify the exact location of the hazard.

We offer sophisticated central systems that can monitor circuits and fault signals, and provide facilities for testing, disabling devices, audible alert silencing and system resets. Control panels must be placed in a low-risk location, near the main ground-floor school or college entrance.

We offer a range of different Fire Alarm detectors for your school, college or education centre:

• Heat detectors – these come in two types; to trigger an alert when a pre-set temperature is registered, or to trigger an alert based on the rate of temperature increase.
• Smoke detectors – these can register smoke through ionisation, light obscuring or light scattering.
• Carbon monoxide detectors – these are not the same as a residential CO detector but instead monitor CO released as a result of a fire outbreak.
• Multi-sensor detectors – an algorithmic-based sensor, combining both optical and heat detection.

Fire Alarm sounders come in many forms, such as bells, dome bells, solid-state sounders, sirens of varying sizes and frequencies and motor or pneumatic horns – we’ll advise you on the most suitable type for your needs.

Our reliable 24/7 monitoring service ensures that if an alert sounds either in school time or out of hours/term, someone will attend the scene and/or alert the emergency services if necessary for a fast and efficient response to minimise damage and other risks.

When a Fire breaks out, there’s no time to waste – so you need to ensure that your school Fire Alarm is in full working order and able to detect issues anywhere on the school site to keep your students safe.

You have various legal responsibilities to meet when it comes to safeguarding the children or youngsters in your care, so we make sure that all of our Fire Alarm systems for Education keep you on the right side of compliance.

A full Fire risk assessment should be carried out and included in your health and safety policy so that you can demonstrate that your Fire Alarm system is fit-for-purpose and that you’re meeting your H&S obligations.

Fast and safe evacuation in the event of a fire is absolutely essential, especially in highly populated Education centres. A quickly sounded alarm, in response to the first sign of a Fire will help you to get everyone out of danger in good time.
