Every fire alarm system we install in Wells meets the requirements of BS 5839-1 (commercial) or BS 5839-6 (domestic). We design the system around your building, not the other way around. Whether you need a Grade A addressable system for a Wells commercial property or a Grade D interlinked system for a rental flat, we handle design, installation, commissioning and certification.
For smaller Wells properties, conventional fire alarm panels offer reliable zone-based detection at a lower cost. For larger commercial buildings and multi-tenanted premises in Wells, addressable systems pinpoint the exact detector that triggered, making evacuation management faster and reducing false alarm callouts.
We supply and install panels and detectors from Gent, Hochiki, Apollo, C-TEC, Nittan and Advanced Electronics. All components are third-party certified and come with manufacturer warranty. We are not tied to a single supplier, so we specify what suits your Wells property best.
Fire alarms and emergency lighting go hand in hand. We install BS 5266-compliant maintained and non-maintained emergency lighting systems alongside fire alarm installations. This includes illuminated exit signs, bulkhead emergency lights and central battery systems for larger Wells commercial properties.
We quote each building on its own merits. The price depends on the grade and category of system the building needs, the number of detectors, sounders and call points, whether it is wireless or hardwired, and how easy the access is. Annual servicing and emergency lighting are priced on the same basis. We survey first, then give you a fixed written quote.
Wells has a unique mix of listed cathedral precinct buildings, Georgian townhouses and residential estates. We work regularly with landlords managing HMOs and rental properties in Wells city centre, where fire alarm compliance is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
We also cover the villages around Wells including Coxley, Wookey Hole, Westbury-sub-Mendip and Dulcote. Whether you need a new fire alarm system fitted or an existing system brought up to current standards, we provide a site survey and fixed-price quotation.
