What NPG Can Offer Specifically for the Interim Measures Alarm Fund (IMAF)

IMAF projects require a coordinated approach that covers design, installation, certification, and ongoing system management.

NPG provides a full end-to-end service that supports each stage of the process, from initial review through to long-term maintenance. The starting point is an assessment of the building and its suitability for the fund. This includes reviewing fire risk documentation and understanding the current evacuation strategy. From there, a fire alarm system is designed in line with NFCC guidance, typically as a Category L5 system tailored to the building’s specific risks.

Certified Installation and Wireless Alarm System Delivery

NPG delivers the full installation process, including supply, installation, and commissioning. Systems are certified under BAFE SP203-1, ensuring that design, installation, and commissioning meet recognised UK standards. Ongoing servicing and maintenance are also provided, supporting continued compliance after installation.

Where required, passive fire remediation can be coordinated through accredited partners. This allows managing agents to address multiple aspects of fire safety through a structured and consistent approach. Wireless fire alarm systems are often used in IMAF projects due to the practical benefits they offer. These systems are well suited to occupied residential buildings, as they reduce the need for intrusive cabling and allow for faster installation. This helps minimise disruption to residents while ensuring that systems can be brought into operation quickly.

Supporting Simultaneous Evacuation Strategies

NPG also has experience in designing systems that support simultaneous evacuation strategies. This includes integrating alarm systems with existing building infrastructure such as lifts and access control systems, as well as ensuring alignment with fire risk assessments and FRAEW findings. Projects often involve coordination with multiple stakeholders. NPG works alongside managing agents, block managers, fire engineers, and fire risk assessors to ensure that systems are acceptable and compliant. Where required, engagement with Fire and Rescue Services is also supported.

Delivery is not limited to a single region.

NPG operates across the UK and supports clients with both individual buildings and multi-site portfolios. This allows for consistent delivery standards across different locations.
