We handle the entire process from initial consultation through to final sign-off, ensuring your system is perfectly integrated and compliant.

• Design & Planning: We design systems tailored to your building’s specific layout, fire strategy, and relevant standards (including BS 9999 and EN 12101).
• AOV Installation: Installation of high-quality vents, actuators, smoke detection units, manual control points, and central control panels. This includes roof vents, window actuators, and stairwell lobbies.
• Input Air Solutions: Integrating automatic fresh air inlet points (e.g., automatic door openers) to ensure effective smoke stratification and clear escape routes.
• System Commissioning: Rigorous testing and calibration of the entire system to ensure immediate, reliable activation and optimal performance under fire conditions.

2. SDI 19 Accredited Maintenance
Regular maintenance is not just a regulatory requirement; it is critical for ensuring your life-safety system works when you need it most. Our SDI 19 accreditation confirms our competence to service and maintain your system to the highest standards.

• Scheduled Servicing: We offer bespoke maintenance contracts (typically six-monthly and annual checks) as mandated by British Standards.
• Full System Checks: Testing includes actuator operation, power supply integrity, battery backup status, detector functionality, control panel diagnostics, and manual call point operation.
• Fault Finding & Repair: Swift and efficient diagnosis and repair of any faults or malfunctions, ensuring minimal system downtime.
• Documentation & Certification: Provision of detailed service reports and Certificates of Compliance to satisfy legal and insurance requirements.
