British Approvals for Fire Equipment (BAFE) is the independent registration body for third-party certified fire safety organisations across the UK. All BAFE-registered organisations have been independently assessed to determine quality evidence of their competency to deliver specific fire safety services confidently.
NSI is the UK’s premier United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) accredited independent certification body for security systems and fire safety. NSI approval is a highly respected and trusted hallmark in these sectors, demonstrating technical expertise and reassuring quality of service.
Correctly designing and installing fire alarm systems is critical to maintaining a safe and secure environment in any building to reduce the potentially catastrophic consequences of a fire taking hold. They are designed to detect smoke or fire and alert occupants to evacuate. They are vital in preventing injuries, fatalities, and property damage caused by fires.
Fire alarm installation is among our core services here at NPG Fire Safety. We strongly believe prevention and early intervention are preferable to dealing with the alternative consequences.
A well-designed fire alarm system can save lives and protect property by detecting fires and alerting occupants and emergency services promptly. The system should be designed to provide adequate coverage and comply with relevant regulations and standards.
NPG Fire Safety is third-party accredited under the BAFE SP203-1 scheme for design, installation, and maintenance. This means we can handle your fire alarm system from the concept stage to the installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance.
As a third-party accredited provider, we have demonstrated our competencies in this field to the highest industry standards, providing you with assurance that you are complying with your legal duties when appointing a competent person.
It is important to select the right type of fire alarm system that is suitable for the size and use of your building. Each system has its unique features and benefits, and the choice of system will depend on the fire risk assessment and the building’s layout, occupancy, and specific needs.
We can install many different types of fire alarm systems, including conventional, addressable, and wireless fire alarm systems.
Conventional fire alarm systems are suitable for small to medium-sized buildings, while addressable fire alarm systems are more suitable for larger buildings.
Wireless fire alarm systems serve their purpose and are useful for listed/heritage buildings and existing buildings where coverage is needed for a quick solution without intrusive work or significant disruption to the business.
We can also design and install Category P systems, which are usually specified by insurance companies for the protection of property.
All of our commercial fire alarm installations are commissioned in accordance with the relevant standards, and a certificate of conformance is issued under our SP203-1 scheme.
An added benefit to working with us is that we employ qualified electricians and are third-party accredited through NAPIT for electrical work, meaning we can provide the power supplies needed for the fire alarm panel. So that’s a complete end-to-end installation without the need for third-party involvement.
In addition to commercial installations, we also provide domestic fire alarms for dwellings, holiday lets, and smaller guest houses.
