For Expert Fire Alarm Installations and More, Look No Further
Protecting people, property and business continuity starts with a reliable fire alarm system.
At Watchman Fire & Security, we install and maintain fire detection systems designed to meet British Standards and keep you fully compliant.
With more than 20 years of experience and a DBS-checked engineering team, we provide tailored life safety solutions for commercial buildings, care settings, schools, warehouses and large multi-site operations.
Fire Alarm Systems Designed for Your Property
Every property has unique risks, layouts and fire safety requirements. We assess your building and recommend a system that offers fast, effective detection and clear, reliable alerts.
Conventional Fire Alarm Systems
A cost-effective option for smaller buildings. These systems divide your property into zones, allowing you to quickly identify where an alarm has activated.
Addressable Fire Alarm Systems
Ideal for larger or more complex properties. Each device has a unique address, pinpointing the exact location of any activation. This enables a faster, more accurate response.
Wireless Fire Alarm Systems
Perfect for premises where cabling is difficult or disruptive. These systems provide reliable detection without affecting the building structure.
Integrated Life Safety Systems
Our engineers can link your fire alarm with emergency lighting, smoke ventilation, access control and building management systems for complete protection.
