Fire alarms in Richmond upon Thames
Period houses, mansion flats and listed buildings make up much of Richmond borough, so we fit wireless BS 5839 systems where cable runs would damage plaster, panelling or cornicing. Richmond Council licenses HMOs and asks for a BS 5839-6 certificate for shared houses in Twickenham, Richmond and Teddington. Pubs and restaurants along the river at Richmond, Twickenham and Barnes need a BS 5839-1 system, six-monthly servicing and emergency lighting tests, and the licensing officer can ask to see the certificates. We install outside opening hours and issue the certificate on the day.
