Designing and installing fire alarm systems is a job for the professionals and especially so where Landlords require such systems installed.
A professionally designed and installed system can reduce injuries and fatalities where fire occurs. Early detection is vital and can even prevent serious fires from taking hold.
As the local Electrician in Bristol, we regularly install FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS IN BRISTOL and can ensure that your property and tenants are as safe as can be.
Requirements for Bristol Landlords
Fire alarm systems are a legal requirement for landlords’ properties and as such, you will want to make sure that everything is carried out properly and in accordance with the legislation. Whilst we are electricians in general our specialism is the installation and maintenance of fire safety systems in the private rented sector.
We have over twenty years of experience in the installation, maintenance, and testing of FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS IN BRISTOL and can assist you with your needs.
If you want to ensure that you are complying with the fire safety requirements then Allied Electrical Services can ensure your system meets the requirements.
What types of systems can be installed?
Early fire detection is vital to protect life and property. With modern fire detection and smoke alarm systems, it is possible to discover smoke or fire very early giving time to tackle the fire or escape before harm is caused.
We can install interlinked, hardwired smoked detection systems that will sound everywhere throughout the property when a fire is detected. This is especially important in HMO properties which are more difficult to evacuate due to the number of residents that are present and the height or size of the property.
Current Requirements
If you are unsure of the current requirements for fire detection in your property then check the government website for information.
There is also information on the Bristol council website.
If this is still clear as mud then don’t hesitate to get in touch with us and we can guide you through the minefield of legislation to ensure that you protect your assets, tenants and stay on the right side of the law.
Fire Protection Systems for HMO properties in Bristol?
In Bristol there are specific requirements set out by the council for Houses in Multiple Occupation which can be found here. There are different fire safety standards for single private lets and Houses in Multiple Occupation with the latter being more stringent to reflect the increased risk of larger properties with more tenants occupying.
Issues with your existing Fire Alarm System?
In single tenancy properties there tends to be a smoke detector installed on every floor. Where one of these detectors chirps intermittently it is likely to be a battery fault indicating a replacement is needed.
It is often possible to replace the battery with the correct type and brand and for the problem to be solved.
Where HMO fire alarm systems are activating you should call us out to investigate. These systems are professional fire detection systems and should only be worked on by professionals that are qualified to do so.
Fault finding on fire alarm systems requires specialist equipment and knowledge. We are able to diagnose, trace and repair fire detection systems so if you have any issues with FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS IN BRISTOL do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
Other Services
We offer a wide range of other electrical services to landlords should you require them. We are a one stop electrical shop for any inspection, testing and maintenance that you may require for your property or portfolio.
