Do I legally need a fire alarm system in my business premises?
Yes. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires that all non-domestic premises have adequate fire detection and warning systems in place. The specific type and scale will depend on your building size, layout, and level of risk. Don’t worry we can carry out a site assessment to determine the correct system for your property.
How often should fire alarms be tested or serviced?
Weekly testing by the responsible person on-site is recommended to ensure functionality, while a professional inspection should be carried out at least once every 12 months. For commercial sites, a six-monthly inspection is best.
Why choose D.R Electrical for fire alarm installation in Chester?
Here’s what we can offer you:
Can you install fire alarms in heritage or listed buildings in Chester?
Yes, we can. In these cases, we often use wireless fire alarm systems to avoid running cables through delicate structures. These systems are reliable, secure, and can be installed with minimal disruption to the building’s fabric.
How long does it take to install a fire alarm system?
It depends on the property size and complexity. A small domestic installation may take us just a few hours, but a large commercial or multi-storey system can take several days.
We’ll provide a clear timescale and schedule before starting any work to ensure minimal disruption to your operations.
What is the difference between conventional and addressable fire alarms?
A conventional system divides your property into zones, showing which area has been activated. An addressable system is used in larger or more complex buildings and assigns each detector a unique digital address, allowing you to pinpoint the exact device that triggered the alarm.
