Fire alarms in City of London
In the City, most fire alarm work is in office buildings: addressable systems with complex cause and effect, linked to access control, lifts, smoke control and an alarm receiving centre, and changed every time a floor is fitted out for a new tenant. We alter and extend those systems for fit-outs, recommission them and issue the modification certificate the building manager needs. Around Fleet Street, Farringdon and Aldgate there are smaller offices, pubs and restaurants in older buildings with conventional panels, and the Barbican and the newer residential towers have communal systems. Most City work happens in the evening or at the weekend, which we plan for as standard.
