How NPG Fire Safety Supports IMAF Projects

NPG Fire Safety Ltd works with managing agents, Responsible Persons, and building owners to deliver these systems in line with current guidance and funding requirements. The focus is on practical delivery, ensuring that systems are compliant, suitable for the building, and accepted by all relevant stakeholders.

How NPG Supports IMAF Alarm System Projects

IMAF projects require a clear understanding of both technical standards and the realities of working in occupied residential environments. Each building presents different challenges, from layout and access to resident communication and existing fire safety measures. A structured approach is required to ensure that the system meets the required standards while remaining practical to install and operate.

NPG supports the full process, beginning with an initial review of the building and its eligibility for funding. This includes assessing fire risk documentation and understanding the current evacuation strategy. From there, a suitable alarm system is designed in line with guidance from the National Fire Chiefs Council and relevant British Standards.

Installation, Handover and Ongoing Support

Installation is carried out with a focus on minimising disruption to residents. In many cases, wireless fire alarm systems are used to allow for faster deployment and reduced intrusion into occupied areas. Once installed, systems are commissioned, certified, and handed over with clear documentation.

The role of the contractor does not end at installation. Ongoing servicing and maintenance are required to ensure that the system remains compliant and operational. NPG provides this continuity, supporting building managers beyond the initial installation phase.

The Interim Measures Alarm Fund is intended to support safety while remediation work progresses. Delivering a system that meets both the technical requirements and the practical needs of the building is essential. NPG’s approach is based on experience, clear communication, and a focus on delivering systems that work in real conditions.

NPG Fire Safety Ltd is here to support you at every stage of the Interim Measures Alarm Fund process.

 From confirming eligibility and preparing a compliant application to designing, installing, and maintaining your fire alarm system, the full process is managed in a clear and structured way. If your building may qualify, get in touch to discuss your position and take the next step towards securing funding and improving fire safety.
