Fire Alarm System
Design and Fire Alarm Installers

At YY Security Installations Ltd we can offer turn key fire alarm systems. We offer design, installation supply and regular maintenance of a wide range of fire alarm systems and as we aren’t tied to particular suppliers we always ensure we get the best deals on parts. We can also eliminate any delays due to product supply which greatly increase our chances of meeting tight deadlines.

Fire Alarm Maintenance Contracts

We have a maintenance plan to suit our clients at a price that is affordable and we do not tie our clients into long term contracts. We ask our clients to sign a nonbinding 12-month contract instructing us to service their fire alarm equipment. We issue a worksheet and test certificate if your system is compliant and we are on call at any time if the system develops a fault or you need expert advice out of normal working hours.

To comply with Health and Safety Regulations it is essential to ensure your fire alarm equipment is regularly serviced in fact it is a requirement to do so in order to meet British Standards! Failure can in effect give your insurance company a good reason not to pay in the event of you making a claim.

All fire systems are maintained to BS 5839. It is also worth noting that as a condition of meeting BS 5839 Part 1 the system must be regularly inspected and maintained at quarterly visits per annum and this is in addition to duties required by the system user.
